Title
English: Horseless carriage, ca. 1916
Description
English: Early automobiles looked so much like carriages or buggies that many people called them "horseless carriages." The vehicles were small, lightweight, and had large, narrow wheels which were well-suited to the dirt roads of the time. Most of the earliest cars were powered by steam or batteries.

This photo shows R. Hopkins' battery-powered car, thought to be Seattle's first automobile. By 1916, when the photo was taken, people would have called Mr. Hopkins' car old fashioned.
