The Birth of Cars

The first automobile, credited to Carl, emerged in 1885, but it was his wife, Bertha, who showcased its potential by driving 66 miles, a remarkable feat at the time. While the early development of cars took place in Europe, America quickly embraced the automobile, particularly with the introduction of the Oldsmobile and the revolutionary Model T by Henry Ford in 1908, which transformed the car industry and solidified America's dominance in the automotive world.
