It can be said that the first ever drawings of a car was made by Leonardo Da Vinci. Interestingly the images of the armored car looked more like a flying object than an automobile. In 1769, a French mechanic and engineer, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot produced the first ever self-propelling military automobile running on steam engine. From this point, later inventions were made which modified Cognot’s inventions.

In 1789, the first ever U.S. steam powered patent was given to Oliver Evans who made a land vehicle. In1801, Richard Trevithick became the first man to build a steam powered road carriage in Britain. Between 1820 and 1840, there were steam powered stagecoaches, while Charles Dietz made designs of the first ever steam powered tractors in France. As technology improved, the automobile were able to run using electricity instead of steam. A Scottish known as Robert Anderson invented the electric carriage. At the time when electric cars were being produced, several people invented gas-powered cars. With the increase in technology, the design of the car was modified to the present ones.
