Of course the idea of an automobile can be dated all the way back to
when the wheel was first invented; however, I am going to place you
back to when major progress was made to the auto industry. The first
automobile was built in France by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in 1769. Not
long after came the first automobile patent in the United States which
was granted to Oliver Evans in 1789. Evan produced his first self-
propelled automobile in 1805. Although self-propelled, this vehicle
wasn't anything like how our vehicles work today. Finally, in 1870 an
inventor by the name of Seigfried Marcus put an internal liquid fuel
engine in a horse carriage which made him the first man to propel a
vehicle by means of gasoline. As were finding out today this may have
been our biggest mistake as a civilization due to global warming
concerns. However, when directly eyeing the auto industry, this was
necessary to jump start the idea that has effects each and every one
of us everyday.
Karl Benz built his first automobile in 1885, was granted a patent in
1886, and began producing automobiles in 1888. Notice the last names
if you are not familiar with the history of the auto industry. In 1889
Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach designed a vehicle from scratch
rather than using a horse carriage fitted with an engine. By the
1900s, mass production on vehicles was under way in France and the
United States. The first company formed to exclusively build cars was
Panhard et Levassor in France. Next came the United States auto
industry startup called Duryea Motor Wagon Company founded by brothers
Charles and Frank Duryea....

three of us. But boats were origionally powered by steam. so was the
car of the Stanley Brothers, and a Franklin, and who knows how many
more in the early parts of the last century.

He Didn't.
IMHO Considering most modern I/O boats owe their power source to
modified auto engines I feel this is a most worthy post. (Even if his
troll did catch the two of us. ;-)
