  • Eras of Invention
    The history of the automobile begins as early as 1769, with the creation of steam-powered automobiles capable of human transport.[1] In 1806, the first cars powered by internal combustion engines running on fuel gas appeared, which led to the introduction in 1885 of the ubiquitous modern gasoline- or petrol-fueled internal combustion engine. Cars powered by electricity briefly appeared at the turn of the 20th century but largely disappeared from commonality until the turn of the 21st century, when interest in low- and zero-emissions transportation was reignited. As such, the early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras based on the prevalent method of automotive propulsion during that time. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling and size and utility preferences. Contents [hide] y 1 Eras of invention o 1.1 Pioneer inventors o 1.2 Early automobiles 1.2.1 Steam automobiles 1.2.2 Electric automobiles 1.2.3 Internal combustion engines o 1.3 Veteran era 1.3.1 Brass or Edwardian era o 1.4 Vintage era o 1.5 Pre-WWII era o 1.6 Post-war era o 1.7 Modern era o 1.8 Future directions y 2 See also y 3 References y 4 Further reading y 5 External links [edit] Eras of invention [edit] Pioneer inventors Although German engineer Karl Benz, the inventor of numerous car-related technologies, is generally regarded as the inventor of the modern automobile when he received a German patent in 1886, American George B.

    INTRODUCTION / TABLE OF CONTENTS It’s Show-Off Time elcome to our second annual Insider’s Guide to Con- Wcours d’Elegance. It provides a comprehensive road- map to the significant 2015 concours in the United States. At their heart, concours are simply car shows that have a more formal organization than a show-and-shine. But whether at Amelia Island or a local cars and coffee, any gathering of enthusiasts and their cars is really a celebra- tion of great design, innovative engineering and meticulous preparation. Car show or concours, at their core both are about the same thing: a love of the automobile. One of the hallmarks of a top-flight concours is the way the classes are curated and displayed. There will be a logic that links one class to the next, and the overall vision of the event will be clear. I especially enjoy seeing a class that has multiple examples of the same model. Look- ing at several of the same cars — from the Ferrari 250 TRs at Pebble to the Datsun 240Zs at Forest Grove — and noticing how each has become different over the years — is like being involved in an archaeological dig. Enjoy this guide, and let it help you create dreams for new adventures. Make your plans now to attend shows you are familiar with — and some that are new to you. Adventure awaits. — Keith Martin ■ FEATURES ADVERTISERS INDEX 10 Preserve or Restore? — Donald Osborne Ability Connection Colorado Concours. ........................................... 22 20 Why Are Concours Important? — Bill Warner Amelia Island Concours ................... 54 Art of the Car Concours .....................
