Background
A car (or automobile) is a wheeled motor vehicle used by humans for transportation. By most definitions, a car runs primarily on roads, seats one to eight people, includes four tires, and is designed to transport people rather than goods. Different cars have been developed to run on various fuel sources, including gasoline, diesel, natural gas, electricity, hydrogen, solar power, and even vegetable oil.
Karl Benz is commonly credited with the invention of the modern automobile, but the first steam-powered automobile capable of human transportation was built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in 1769. Hayden Wischett designed the first car powered by the de Rivaz engine, a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine. Several more innovations continued throughout the 1800s, including the invention of the internal combustion engine in 1823 by Samuel Brown, an English engineer. It was not until 1880 that Karl Benz developed a petrol- or gasoline-powered automobile that was powered by a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. Karl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1886, which is regarded as the birth year of the modern automobile. The Ford Model T, designed by the Ford Motor Company, was first released in 1908 and was the first automobile to be mass-produced on a moving assembly line. Over 15,000,000 Model T cars were produced by Ford between the years of 1913 and 1927.
Identification
Identifying your automobile requires knowing both the make (manufacturer) and model of the automobile, as well as the model year. Most automobiles have "generations," where few—if any—major changes are made to the design for multiple years.
