Even though our world is filled with them now, automobiles were quite rare during the 1910s and 1920s. In the United States automobiles were just being developed at this time, but once the automobile became popular, people used them with every opportunity

Cars in the 1920s completely impacted daily life and greatly influenced the cars that we use everyday. Back before cars were popular, everyone traveled by horse and buggy. They had no source of cart heating, nothing to absorb shock, wheels without tires. All they had for streets back then were dirt roads with a top layer of gravel.

The first American car was most likely the Baushke "Autymobile" built in 1894. During that time period there was a boom in start-up manufactures of the new “Horseless Carriage” machines, everybody in the coach and bicycle industry was jumping at the chance to build one. Dozens of manufactures came and went, but a few of those early start-ups still exist today.

In the 1970’s they invented the ambulance to help save people's lives faster and quicker on the way to the hospital. Now the vehicles in 2017 are not made as good as they were in the early years. They are made better now in 2017 than they were earlier in 1950.

Despite the very fact that the diagram for the innovative vehicle was perfect in Deutschland and France within the late 1800s, Americans dominated the business within the primary portion of the 20 th century.

However, as time went on people became interested in creating a vehicle that wasn’t confined to tracks. The earliest attempts were moderately successful but served little practical purpose. Automobiles first began to truly spread with the invention of the electric motor which created cheaper, more powerful, and safer automobiles. Still the automobile still had numerous problems and were mainly in the hands of the rich. It was the development of the internal combustion engine and the assembly line that was truly able to create a practical vehicle that could be used by all and

America did not alone invent automobile, but America had been the leader in the automobile technology and manufacturing for several decades. During that time, American automobiles shared their technology and know-how with Japanese and German manufacturers. And, American companies did not pay a great attention to what Japanese and German manufacturers have learned from their American counterparts. During 1940s,
