问题 The car was invented just a century ago. You may know all kinds of the car names, but many people don’t know who the inventor of the first car was. The first car was invented not by a German, but by an American. His name was Henry Ford.
Henry was born in a poor family. He was the eldest of six children. When he was a boy he became interested in fixing watches and machines. When he was twelve years old, his mother died. Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents a week. In the evenings he repaired watches for another dollar a week. The hard life made him strong and able.
At that time, there was another interest in the life of the young Ford. He dreamed of making a machine that could run without horses, so he named it "horseless carriage". He overcame a lot of difficulties and in April 1893, the "horseless, carriage" was finally finished: it was the first car.
Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company. He was really the first inventor of the car in the world.
