Introduction
The reason why I choose to research about The History of The Automobile is because my interest in cars. I’ve been interested in cars for a while, so I thought it would we be appropriate to do my senior project on them. I also thought it would be good for my research on this topic, because I plan to major in field that relates to it.
Difficulties
The difficulty that I faced during this project was being real lazy.
I was procrastinating a lot, so I didn’t have much time to do my project, so I had to rush.
I also couldn’t find many books to cite in my research paper.
20th Century and Years upon
In the 1920’s they started to evolve and install synchromesh transmissions for easier gear shifting; four-wheel hydraulic brake systems; improved carburetors; shatterproof glass; balloon tires; heaters; and mechanically operated windshield wipers
In the 1930s car engines and bodies became large and luxurious.
Two styles were created during the time of World War II, European and American. The European style was compact and small. They liked their cars to be lightweight and small unlike the American style. Their cars were made of mostly aluminum and the chassis and framework was made of steel. The American style was the opposite of what the European style. The cars were big and spacious inside, because Americans liked to be comfortable while driving. Their cars were made with more power, smooth riding and stability, power steering, and power brakes.
Between the 1950’s and 1960’s American manufacturers started making smaller cars, but their engine size and horsepower increased.
By the 1980’s Technology started to grow in America because of new Japanese innovations and imports.
As the 21st century progressed, cars improve and computer technology began to be utilized in cars. Cars today are now mostly controlled by computer chips.
Conclusion
In Conclusion Automobiles have been around centuries. It all started back when a curious Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot, designed a three-wheel automobile, which used a steam engine for an engine. These were the bread crumbs for later in the future, and truly that is what they became. Many inventors followed the bread crumbs and built on what they knew inventing faster and more powerful engines, smaller and smaller cars, and more unique cars as time grew on. Cars have continued to evolve till’ today and will never stop because there’s always someone out there trying to be the next Henry Ford or the next Gottlieb Daimler, or Wilhelm Maybach. Cars have only evolved for a little bit, and as technology continues to become better cars will too.
