Its Fun Car Fact Tuesday. I bet you didnt know this tidbit of information: Leonardo da Vinci Designed the First Car Although cars didnt become popular until the beginning of the 20th century, they were invented much earlier. The first working automobiles were invented in the late 1800s, but Leonardo da Vinci actually created drawings for a self-propelled vehicle around 1478. No one knows if a prototype was ever made, but these drawings represent the first known conception of the automobile. Wow... what an intelligent man, wise beyond his years. Remember, we have Intelligent Men and Women here at Montrose, come meet them and discuss new inventions in cars.
