The first car was invented not by an Englishman, but by an American. His name was Henry Ford.
Henry was born in a poor family. He was the eldest of the six children. When he was a boy, he became interested in 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.

Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company. He was really the first inventor of the car in the world.
