Answer 2

The first vehicle to move under its own power for which there is a record was designed by Nicholas Joseph Cugnot and constructed by M. Brezin in 1769. A replica of this vehicle is on display at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, in Paris. I believe that the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D. C. also has a large (half size ?) scale model. A second unit was built in 1770 which weighed 8000 pounds and had a top speed on 2 miles per hour and on the cobble stone streets of Paris this was probably as fast as anyone wanted to go it. The picture shows the first model on its first drive around Paris were it hit and knocked down a stone wall. It also had a tendency to tip over frontwards unless it was conterweighted with a canon in the rear. the purpose of the vehicle was to haul canons around town.

Answer 3

Samuel Morey made the first car using the internal combustion engine in Philadelphia PA in 1826 by mounting his patented "gas or vapor" engine on a buckboard. He didn't drive it though. It accidently took off without him and crashed across the street, and the rest is history. Some external combustion (steam-powered) trucks, tractors and boats existed before then. They were large and heavy, basically steam locomotives not on rails.

Henry Ford built his first car by starting with sketches printed in the various craft and hobby magazines of the day.
