Duryea Car

This one is recognized as the first gasoline-powered vehicle to have been built in the US. Two brothers, Charles and Frank Duryea were the masterminds behind the commercial car. It was first driven around Springfield, Massachusetts in 1893. There was only one cylinder with a water-cooled gasoline engine. If you're looking to check this one out in person, The Smithsonian Institutehas an 1893 version on display. By 1896, the brothers had sold thirteen units, and the first ten were the first cars to be sold in the U.S.
Up next is a tricycle turned quadricycle that had a top speed of 31mph.
