On this segment of The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, Mo Rocca meets with Curator of Transportation Matt Anderson to learn more about the oldest surviving American automobile.
In the 1860s, mechanic Sylvester Roper began experimenting with stem-powered horseless carriages, and by 1865, he had a working prototype. Steam-powered locomotives and ships were familiar sights to Americans in the 1860s, but Roper's horseless carriage was more of a spectacle than a mode of transportation. They weren’t considered practical vehicles but rather became popular attractions at circuses and fairs.
Roper's steam-powered carriage was ahead of it's time; Karl Benz wouldn't begin experimenting with gasoline-powered vehicles for another 20 years. And while Roper's innovation was revolutionary in an age when steam power was king, he never put it into commercial production, which is why his name is lost in comparison to the likes of Henry Ford, Karl Benz, and Gottlieb Daimler.

For some how gL0balist (mercedesyt channel) said karl benz invented first car (all steam power , gas , early magnet motor been bashed out by them) , but their movie told 'first driver' , which totally nonsense and misslead naratives. I will never buy any N A Z I false movie and history , the most spreads quote by european was hitler naratives towards to repetation of LIES through media and political chambers.

No go, Moe, Karl Benz is the acknowledged inventer of the gasoline automobile( 3 wheels before that designation was taken over by motocycles)and rightly so. He did not put someone else's engine on a purchased carriage, but he built the whole vehicle. Claims of what his car could do were proven and what what one of these rich man toys could toys could actually do as proven by his wife and 2 sons driving to see her mother 40 miles away.
