There were some incarnations as early as 1672 but
An automobile powered by a Otto gasoline engine was built in Germany by Karl Benz in 1885 and granted a patent in the following year. Although several other engineers (including Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach and Siegfried Marcus) were working on the problem at about the same time, Benz is generally credited with the invention of the modern automobile.[5]

It was not in America and it was not Henry Ford . Henry Ford did not invent anything but we owe him a lot . When other people where making cars for thousands of dollars Henry found a way to build cars for less than half price . Henry Ford was the first man to mass produce vehicles .The price of the model T drop 30% with in a year of production making them affordable to the working class . Henry Ford would make his suppliers ship their parts in wooden crates made to his dimensions so he could use the wood in building new cars and he made charcoal out of the scrap wood (KingsFord brand)

The first mechanized road vehicle was built by French army officer, Nicolas Cugnot, in 1769. It was powered by steam and designed to haul cannon.
The first gasoline powered automobile was built by Siegfried Marcus, a German inventor of Jewish ancestry, sometime in the 1860's. The Nazi's destroyed much of his history, and substituted the legend of Karl Benz having invented the automobile in 1885.
The automobile was patented in the US by George Selden in 1879. The first American automobile was build by John Lambert in 1891. The first American automobile manufactured for commercial sale was the Duryea in 1893. The first American automobile produced on an Assembly line was the curved dash Oldsmobile in 1901.
As far as I know, Henry Ford invented nothing, and has no important "firsts" to his credit. 1diputs jogged my memory...Ford did invent planned obsolesence. He would send his engineers out to junkyards to inspect scrapped vehicles. When they would find good parts, he'd have the parts redesigned more cheaply, so that in the future the whole vehicle would fall apart at once. Next time your car dies, thank Ford.
