The first car that was produced was the DE-DION-BOUTON about 1883 in Puteaux, France. It was steam powered and designed and built by two mechanics Bouton and Trepardoux in the firm of Grafen Albert de Dion Dampfwagen and Dampfvoituretten. The length of production of this auto was from 1883 til 1932.
Benz was produced from 1885 til 1926 in Mannheim Germany,
Daimler was produced from 1897 until today in Coventry Great Britain,
Mercedes was produced from 1901 until 1926 in Cannstatt Germany.
Mercedes-Benz autos were not built until 1926, this is the year that Benz and Daimler fussed to create Daimler-Benz, now known as Mercedes-Benz.
By the way, Henry Ford didn't start the Ford Motor Company until June 24, 1903 (before this it was known as the Henry Ford Company started in 1902)

In 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
Cugnot’s vehicle was improved by Frenchman, Onesiphore Pecqueur, who also invented the first differential gear.
In 1789, the first U.S. patent for a steam-powered land vehicle was granted to Oliver Evans.
In 1801, Richard Trevithick built a road carriage powered by steam - the first in Great Britain.
In Britain, from 1820 to 1840, steam-powered stagecoaches were in regular service. These were later banned from public roads and Britain's railroad system developed as a result.
Steam-driven road tractors (built by Charles Deitz) pulled passenger carriages around Paris and Bordeaux up to 1850.
In the United States, numerous steam coaches were built from 1860 to 1880. Inventors included: Harrison Dyer, Joseph Dixon, Rufus Porter, and William T. James.
Amedee Bollee Sr. built advanced steam cars from 1873 to 1883. The "La Mancelle" built in 1878, had a front-mounted engine, shaft drive to the differential, chain drive to the rear wheels, steering wheel on a vertical shaft and driver's seat behind the engine. The boiler was carried behind the passenger compartment.
In 1871, Dr. J. W. Carhart, professor of physics at Wisconsin State University, and the J. I. Case Company built a working steam car that won a 200-mile race.

Karl Benz (Carl Benz) On January 29, 1886, Benz received the first patent (DRP No. 37435) for a gas-fueled car. It was a three-wheeler; Benz built his first four-wheeled car in 1891, in Mannheim, Germany. The history of the first automobile ever made is quite controversial but here is a link that should help you out.
