History of the Motor Car
ABCDEFGHI
If you think that Henry Ford created the earliest automobile, it might surprise you to learn that he didnʼt. Automobiles, or motor vehicles, owe their existence to many people from different countries. The word automobile can be defined simply as a vehicle that is self-powered, and there are some designs for self-propelled vehicles as early in history as 1335!

The debut of the first successful self-powered
vehicle occurred in France in 1769 and was
designed and built by Cugnot and Brezin. This
was a heavy, steam powered monster that
weighed 4 tons and had a top speed of only 2 miles per hour. Even so this could be a dangerous speed. On a maiden trip through the streets of Paris this ancestor of modern cars was involved in one of the first motor vehicle accidents when it hit a heavy wall of stones and caused them to tumble down. Another Frenchman, Etienne Lenoir, created and patented the first gas engine in 1860 and used his invention to power a small buggy through the countryside. The engine was a 1⁄2 horsepower model that could generate 100 rpm.

In Germany, both Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz created motorised vehicles during the 1880s.
It was the Ford Model T that elevated Henry Ford to “superstar” status as the assembly line, created cars that many could afford.
