BOCA RATON, FLORIDA — Two brothers' unique private museum of classic cars, rare musical instruments and other collectibles was emptied Saturday with the final strike of an auctioneer's gavel, bringing in $38. Bob Milhous, 75, and his brother Paul Milhous, 73, spent decades building their collection. The final tally came in just below the roughly $40 million the auction houses estimated they'd yield. Most of the automobiles sold at or above their estimates, though bids for many of the rare musical instruments came in below expected ranges. 3 million for the only known surviving 1912 Oldsmobile Limited, more than double its pre-auction estimate. The Milhous Collection, as it has become known, is housed in a 39,000-square-foot building. 3 million in sales.
