1. Yes that is sad isn't it?

2. And yes, there were cars in 1897.

But none in mass production that were affordbale to the average person. Ford invented that a few years later.

Matter of fact, there have been cars in some form for a long time now.

Here is a link to an interesting article on that very subject:
