It does translate like that. But in germany, the first letters are an abbreviaton of the citys name. Then you can chose between 1-2 additional letters and 1-4 numbers. In this case the "EIN" is the city of "Einbeck" and the "PS" the name of the museum

Considering in how many countries motorcars even existed in 1894, there is real chance that this vehicle is indeed the oldest street legal care in the entire world. As far as I could gather, the first motorcar in the US was sold in 1896, etc., so the only country that could even think of competing would be France, and I know of no French car of that era that might be street legal.

Cars were invented in germany, so it would make sense😄

That record actually goes to a 1884 car called De Dion Bouton et Trépardoux

@@beepboopbeeppyou mean the steam car? Well, it’s a steam car, if you include them you even might find older ones - it’s the same with bicycles and draisines. Those steam-vehicles are barely cars in a modern sense. This one might he the oldest „car“ with all the essential „car“ stuff.

It's something it is but odds are it was abandoned for a very long time (not in use) or it's had significant work done to it just hidden. They are extremely basic like most of the old older vehicles. Folks didn't drive around much in those days (commonly used for special events) and even folks who had like the old Model T's from 1907? Averaged about 3-5k miles before worn out which was significant for it's time. Even if it was in use the whole time it averages out to less than a mile per month which would also mean it's at the end of life. Old vehicles like these are special but there is no way this remained functional that whole time. This was most likely a legendary barn find by one of the previous family owners children/great grand children. Not trying or wanting to downplay the significance but it's most likely one of those vehicles which was made from 20-30 separate vehicles for repairs just like the 1920's vehicles folks build buying it one part of a time.

Nobody is arguing that one horsepower is the maximum power a horse can produce for a short time, so I am not sure what your argument has to do with anything. (For the record: In fact, the definition of the hp unit relates directly to how much work a horse can do on a day - you may want to look up the "history" section at the Wiki entry of "horsepower".)

Planned obsolescence is the way the modern economy works today. Things are NOT built to last as long as they theoretically could, to force you to keep getting new ones.

english is louder, I know german and dubbing over just sucks.

And thus the term "horseless carriage" was born

Even the first railway carriages looked like horse drawn carriages.

Thats exactly how the first ones were designed. Then cars for the next 50 years, all the way up to station wagons, retained some aspects of that design.

IT IS a 'Car'riage!

Many English speakers dont know that "car" is short for carriage.

Jan Engel It was called Daimler Benz instead of Mercedes Benz

Jan Engel Benz merged 1926 with Daimler to the Daimler Benz AG , and the brand name Mercedes was used until then only for cars from Gottlieb Daimler's company. This one was built long before they merged, so it's not a Mercedes, also not a Mercedes Benz, it's only a Benz.

It's a Benz "Viktoria".

@@HBoff I know.

This car is being regularly looked after by a mechanic though. This is a case of the Ship of Theseus. Technically, with the right maintenance, any car can last as long as that one. But the expenses required to keep it working are great after the car has passed its prime, especially for old cars. In fact, that's makes some old cars like this one noteworthy, that's why there aren't that many cars from 1960s and older still around; cars do only last around 10 years usually. In more dry climates, cars last much longer usually, but they all eventually break down without mechanic's attentive care. Big respect to those men keeping the past alive!

@@doigt6590 as a mechanical engineering student I do have to add the more modern consept of calculated redundancy. Basically, in a lot of applications, it is not necessary to make them run for a long time. It is simply cheaper to make a part that will only last about the expected lifetime of the mechanism. This is not exeption for cars. Ironically enough, engineers are only able to be fairly accurate with this in modern times, using computer programs to simulate failing conditions and production methods. This means that in olden times, mechanisms where often over engineered for their function. This is also why older stuff seems more rigid and though. Because it is. But why make it rigid and though, when it will generaly only be used for a certain time, or a different part in the mechanism will fail long before the other parts? It's simply unnecessary. Now combine this with other facts like older mechanisms being generaly bulkier and simpler, and you get very though machines. Edit: oh and in the past people more often used to fix their own stuf (because it was simpler) but modern mechanisms from cars to coffee machines have become too complicated for the average consumer to fix. Hence instead of fixing something, modern consumers more often just buy a new product.

@never again lol, you actually think that factory owners were morally upright and honest 100+ years ago? How about calling a private police company to come and break up a worker's strike because they wanted safer working conditions and better pay? Or how about the coal company towns that basically enslaved generations of workers by only paying people in company script that could only be used at the company run store? Or how about the railroad company that set up a shell company to charge the US government twice to build 5 miles of railroad on a 2 mile stretch? People can be shitty no matter what generation they were born in

@never again as an engineer I take offense at that little jab. We do our job and we doo it well. Only thing is, we don't make out the specs, we simply adhere to them. We even get paid shit for all the work we put in, as opposed to the "big wigs" that do fuck all.

You’ll find it a lot easier to maintain and fix modern cars with parts availability than 100 years old cars where all parts are custom made.
