The History of the Automobile Gasoline Cars

By the early 1900s, gasoline cars started to outsell all other types of motor vehicles. The first car manufactures in the world were French: Panhard & Levassor (1889) and Peugeot (1891). Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor

Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor were partners in a woodworking machinery business, when they decided to become car manufactures. They built their first car in 1890 using a Daimler engine. Edouard Sarazin, who held the license rights to the Daimler patent for France, commissioned the team The partners not only manufactured cars, they made improvements to the automotive body design.

Panhard-Levassor made vehicles with a pedal-operated clutch, a chain transmission leading to a change-speed gearbox, and a front radiator. Levassor was the first designer to move the engine to the front of the car and use a rear-wheel drive layout. This design was known as the System Panhard and quickly became the standard for all cars because it gave a better balance and improved steering. Panhard and Levassor are also credited with the invention of the modern transmission - installed in their 1895 Panhard. Panhard and Levassor also shared the licensing rights to Daimler motors with Armand Peugeot. Early on, French manufacturers did not standardize car models - each car was different from the other. American's first gasoline-powered commercial car manufacturers were Charles and Frank Duryea. The brothers were bicycle makers who became interested in gasoline engine and automobiles and built their first motor vehicle in 1893, in Springfield, Massachusetts.

The first automobile to be mass produced in the USA was the 1901, Curved Dash Oldsmobile, built by the American car manufacturer Ransome Eli Olds 1864-1950). Olds invented the basic concept of the assembly line and started the Detroit area automobile industry. He first began making steam and gasoline

engines with his father, Pliny Fisk Olds, in Lansing, Michigan in 1885. In 1889 Olds moved to Detroit to start the Olds Motor Works and produced low-priced cars. Henry Ford

American car manufacturer, Henry Ford (1863-1947) invented an improved assembly line and installed the first conveyor belt-based assembly line in his car factory in Ford's Highland Park, Michigan plant, around 1913-14. Ford's famous Model T was assembled in ninety-three minutes. Ford made his first car, called the "Quadricycle", in Junel896. However, success came after he formed the Ford Motor Company in 1903. This was the third car manufacturing company formed to produce the cars he designed. He introduced the Model T in 1908 and it was a success. After installing the moving assembly lines in his factory in 1913, Ford became the world's biggest car manufacturer.
