World's Oldest Car for Sale
And it's not a Daimler or a Benz.
It's ... (drumroll) .... [I'm leaving time for you to guess the nationality] FRENCH! The car was built in France in 1884, about a year before Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz of Germany built their first experimental gasoline-powered cars. The four-wheeled De Dion-Bouton et Trepardoux, nicknamed "La Marquise," was originally built for the French Count De Dion, one of the founders of the company. http://www.cnn.com/2007/AUTOS/06/25/worlds_oldest_car/index.html

Stuff and nonsense.....
The world's oldest surviving internal combustion engined vehicle,as opposed to steam,was made in Germany by Dr.Siegfried Marcus,a German-Jewish inventor in 1875.
This vehicl survives in an Austrian museum and can still be driven under it's own power. Steam cars are nothing new,inventors have been adapting that form of motive power to personal transport since the late 18th century an 2 americans pre-dated the Count by some 20 years,Richard Dudgeon and Sylvester Roper.
