Who made the first car in america?

There's no single definitive answer to who made the *first* car in America, as it depends on how you define "car." Several inventors were experimenting with self-propelled vehicles around the same time. However, Duryea Motor Wagon Company, founded by Charles and Frank Duryea, is generally credited with building and selling the first commercially successful gasoline-powered automobile in the United States. Their car, built in 1893, preceded Henry Ford's mass-produced Model T by many years.
