110 years aog today...
From HistoryChannel.com
************************************************** ******* 1893 America's First Automobile America's first automobile was not built by a Henry Ford or Walter Chrysler, but by Charles and Frank Duryea, two bicycle makers. Charles spotted a gasoline engine at the 1886 Ohio State Fair and became convinced that an engine-driven carriage could be built. The two brothers designed and built the car together, working in a rented loft in Springfield, Massachusetts. After two years of tinkering, Charles and Frank Duryea showed off their home invention on the streets of Springfield, the first successful run of an automobile in the U.S. ************************************************** ******** Another day in Paradise...

That's correct. What the Fords and Chryslers did was to produce the first successful automobiles in the US.
