Cars are defined as a mode of transportation that can carry people from one point to another. It has its own engine and transmission and can travel to a maximum speed of 200 miles per hour. History would tell us that cars started in the 1600s as steam-powered vehicles. Germans can be given credit in creating and continuing the legacy of cars, particularly Karl Benz.
Benz was granted a patent in producing and designing the best cars and engines man has ever seen. Since his production started in the late 1800s, the quality and the legacy lived on as Benz has consistently produced top of the line cars that service consumers all over the world. Benz would later on merge with Daimler and create the famous Mercedes Benz that we know of today.
Other countries somehow followed suit in the creation of these beautiful cars. With the likes of Peugeot of France, they started the car industry in France where until now they still continue the production of cars. In the United States, the famous Henry Ford created his own car and assembly as well. With the advent of new technology during that time, owning a car can be regarded as a status symbol not just for practicality and its usefulness. The quality of the produced cars during the industrial age has proven to be its charm to last the future generations of our time.
In order for us to see the continuing legacy of quality cars, most car manufacturers have set up a museum of sorts for people to see the evolution of cars that have been made throughout the years. It can be very informational too, for we can see how creative and determined our forefathers were in the automobile industry during that time. In order for their dream and ambition to achieve for the common good of all one can also see in a museum how those cars emerge as a unifying factor for a country or a nation in the time of challenges and triumphs.
You can also step back in time as a museum can be very interactive. In addition documentaries shown on television will remind us of how these cars are made and what people can do in order to maintain the legacy that they left behind. What is good to note here is that the museums and documentaries catch the eye of non-car enthusiasts and thus sparks the interest in cars and how they were made and the impact that they gave out to the people involved.
With the ongoing trends and globalization, the competition has become tougher, making some of the car manufacturers close shop, merge or acquire smaller car manufacturers in order to keep their business afloat.
This also proved to be beneficial to both parties, as they can merge their ideas and concepts and create the most beautiful street rods one has ever seen. With the advent of car shows being organized annually, consumers can take a look into the new cars that can be sold to the market worldwide. One thing is certain: these street rods will last for a lifetime and can help future generations see what the world was before they arrived. It is interesting to note though that the inventors or the forefathers of the car industry did not realize the impact that they made to us, the present generation and how greatly we benefit from their hard work and determination.
