The first carriage-sized automobile suitable for use on existing wagon roads in the United States was a steam-powered vehicle invented in 1871, by Dr. J.W. Carhart, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Racine, Wisconsin.
Ferdinand Verbiest, a Christian missionary in China, built the first car in 1672. He designed the vehicle as a toy for the Chinese Emperor. It was only a small vehicle, unable to transport people. It was powered by steam. The first modern car was invented by German Karl Benz in 1885. His design used an internal combustion engine (as most cars do today). The internal combustion engine had actually been designed in 1806 by Swiss inventor Francois Isaac de Rivaz.
