(thanks, Darth, for the exact date)... So on 1 October 1908, the first Ford Model T was made. So we're just over two years away from the hundred years anniversary of the automobile... I'm pretty stoked about that...!
Ummm, no. Nicolaus August Otto Nicolaus August Otto invented the gas motor engine in 1876. Gottlieb Daimler In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler invented a gas engine that allowed for a revolution in car design. Karl Benz (Carl Benz) Karl Benz was the German mechanical engineer who designed and in 1885 built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine. John Lambert America's first gasoline-powered automobile was the 1891 Lambert car invented by John W. Lambert. Duryea Brothers They founded America's first company to manufacture and sell gasoline-powered vehicles in 1896. Henry Ford Henry Ford improved the assembly line for automobile manufacturing (Model-T), invented a transmission mechanism, and popularized the gas-powered automobile.
You're absolutely right , just the "T" model was one of the first cars made in mass production - never seen in automotive industry before that !
Duryea's first S/N? It was 001... Black/Black/Black with exposed Ash wood trim Image Unavailable, Please Login
Notice how the bigger wheels on the back give it that aggressive nose down tail high look, kinda like the 19/20 standard wheels on the new 599...
Actually that's not totally correct either. The first Model T was produced on Sept. 27th and delivered on Oct. 1.
so we're just over 2 years away from the 100th anniversary of the first mass produced ford - not even the first model ford. and someone on a Ferrari chat site wants to mark this occasion because?
"Dr.Z" is gonna kick yer @ss Carbie. He even claims to have lineage to the first automobile in one of the recent Chrysler commercials.
LOL...! I suppose a little more research would've been appropriate before I started this thread... Thanks for the corrections, gentlemen...
The first Ford car rolled out in 1903, the year the company was formed. I forgot to mention, the car was built Sept. 27th, delivered Oct. 1, and in the shop Oct. 2.
