How The Car Began.
The early automobile industry started around the 1900s. In 1893 J. Frank and Charles E. Duryea produced the first successful gasoline-powered automobile in the United States.They began commercial production of the Duryea car in 1896—the same year in which Henry Ford operated his first successful automobile in Detroit. The first automobile salesroom was opened in New York City in 1899 by Percy Owen. Henry M. Leland and Henry Ford further developed mass production methods during the early 1900s.
