Default The first car

It is believed that the first car with the internal combustion engine which is practical for daily use was built by Karl Benz in 1885 in Mannheim, Germany. Do you know if the car still exists some where now?

Is this the one you mean? What a cute car. Far cry from the ones that Benz is producing now-a-days. I like it though. I truly admire people who have visions and run with their visions.

Ooops I am sorry for that. I did not quite answer your question. I think there might still be someone who has that in a private collection or wherever that museum is in the video.

That's alright, thanks for sharing the link. The video was submitted on January 24, 2008, so it proves that the car still exists now. Yeah that's a cute and exotic car. I would love to see the car in person.

You have to wonder how much a car like that is worth. It isn't a "first of it's kind" type car, it is the first ever. Period. And I agree, I would LOVE to see it in person.
