  • HISTORY of CARS the History of the Car Has Been a Long And
    HISTORY OF CARS The History of the Car has been a long and challenging one. In 1678 a small steam car was shown off that had been made for the Chinese emperor. It was the founding of the early history of the car. By 1769, Nicholas Cugnot was demonstrating a Automobile in France. By 1801, Richard Trevithick was demonstrating a steam-carriage in Britain. The Car continued its development in Britain until a law governing the use of cars basicall stopped development for the rest of that century in Britain. In 1789, Oliver Evans was granted the first automobile patent in the United States. The first automobiles that had gasoline powered internal combustion engines were developed in Germany by several different inventors around the same time about 1885. By 1895, the disc brake was patented by Frederick William Lanchester of Britain. In 1889, Panhard et Levassor in France became the first company to form to build just automobiles. Steam, electricity, and gasoline-powered autos competed for the market share. The car was becoming big business in history. From 1908 to 1927, the Ford Model T became the most widely produced car of its time. The vintage era of Car History lasted lasted from 1919 to 1929 and was dominated by front engine cars. The pre-war era of car history laster from 1930 to 1948. This ear was perhaps dominated by the Volkswagen Beetle. The Post-War era of Car History was the greatest period of Car Development. Although Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is often credited with building the first self-propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769, this claim is disputed by some, who doubt Cugnot's three-wheeler ever ran, while others claim Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, built the first steam powered car around 1672.
