me and my automobile page 2 by ric gustafson
The father of the modern car was Karl Benz. He was an engineer from south western Germany. In 1885, he created the first petrol powered motor vehicle. It was equipped with three wire wheels, a four stroke engine, an electric coil ignition and a transmission of two chains connecting the engine to the rear axle. His invention was patented in January of 1886. At the same time, an engineer named Gottlieb Daimler harnessed a four stroke petrol engine to a bicycle and created the very first motorcycle. In 1886, the two fitted a larger engine to a stagecoach and thus invented the first motor coach. In 1890, the two formed a public company called DMG to build and sell gas engines. In 1892, the company sold it's first four wheeled car. In 1898, the Daimler Car was born.
