Introduction to history of Automobile: 

Brief history of automobiles:

The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car when German inventor Karl Benz patented his Benz Patent Motorwagen. Cars became widely available in the early 20th century. One of the first cars accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.

In 1897, the first car ran on an Indian road. Through the 1930s, cars were imports only, and in small numbers. An embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Hindustan Motors was launched in 1942, long-time competitor Premier in 1944, building Chrysler, Dodge, and Fiat products respectively.

Classification of old cars:

a) Antique cars are over 45 years old.

b) Vintage car: an old style or model of car, specifically one made between 1919 and 1930

c) the classic car moniker applies to vehicles over 20 years old

Somebody has well said, Vintage cars appreciate and new cars depreciate!
