Cars History1919 Republic Truck
By definition an automobile or car is a wheeled vehicle that carries its own motor and transports passengers. The automobile as we know it was not invented in a single day by a single inventor. It is estimated that over 100,000 patents created the modern automobile.

Early Steam Powered CarsIn 1769, the very
first self-propelled
road vehicle was a
military tractor
invented by French
engineer and
mechanic, Nicolas
Joseph Cugnot
(1725 - 1804).
Cugnot used a
steam engine to
power his vehicle,
built under his
instructions at the
Paris Arsenal by
mechanic Brezin.
Daimler and Benz invented cars that looked and worked like the cars we use today. However, it is unfair to say that either man invented "the" automobile.

Vehicle Types - Types of Car4-Door Sedans - Sedans are a good choice for most
automobile shoppers2-Door Coupes - Coupes are usually driven by
single adults or childless couplesStation Wagons - An active family will want to look
at minivans, sport utility vehicles, or station wagonsConvertibles - Most convertibles are sports cars,
meaning two seats, high-performance engines and superior handling
Sports Cars - Sports cars were originally European two-seat roadsters designed for both daily travel and week-end racing hobbyists.
Mini-Vans - If you're constantly carting kids or cargo, a minivan may be your best choice
Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) - I mentioned in the Station Wagon category how I regard SUVs
Pickup Trucks - More new pickup trucks are sold in this country than any other type of vehicle
Vans - If you transport large amounts of cargo or need room for more than seven adults, a full-size van is your only option.

11 Easy Steps To Design A “Concept” Car 1Buy a cheap model muscle car such as a Chevelle or Nova, and a stockcar like Tony
stewart's or Jeff gordon's. Ads by Google Verano Official Site Introducing the New Buick Verano. View Photos, Features and

tool with a sanding drum. Dremels are available at places like Home Depot, Lowes and other hardware stores.
3Remove the tires of the stockcar model and make sure the rims and tires fit the chassis of the muscle car. If the hole in the rim is not big enough for the stock car tire, drill it out. Make sure that the tires are not rubbing the fenders.
4Assemble the interior with a rollbar made of styrene added. Only put 1 seat, the dashboard and steering wheel, and the shifter, nothing else (you can buy styrene tubing at hobby stores, but you don't need a rollbar).
5Paint the muscle car. 6Get racing numbers and apply them to the muscle car. 7Use aluminum duct tape or sheet metal and cover the headlights, tail lights and all
other lights of the muscle car. The only glass that should be in the car is the front windshield - no other glass.
8Install everything else on the car (the engine, wheels from the stockcar etc. etc).
