Some Of The Oldest Cars In The World

De Dion-Bouton Quadricycle

In 1882, Comte Albert De Dion and Bouton built a quadricycle powered by their successful internal combustion engine, which was widely used in 19th-century motorsports. A 1900 model is on display at the Louwman Museum in the Netherlands.

Daimler Maybach-Stahlradwagen

Wilhelm Maybach and Gottlieb Daimler, early pioneers of internal combustion engines, created the Stahlradwagen in 1889, inspiring Armand Peugeot’s designs. Daimler's traced star later became the iconic Mercedes trademark.
