United States Motor Car History Marked by 22nd Anniversary
The April 1898 milestone marks twenty two years since the first US motor vehicle sale. Early European roots gave way to American development as pioneers built, tested, and refined horseless carriages into commercial and passenger autos, with Winton and Allison linked to early sales and revival. Names like Duryea Haynes Hancock and Daimler appear in the evolving tale of the automobile’s rise.
