The catchy-sounding De Dion-Bouton et Trapardoux was built in France in 1884, and amazingly, it’s a three owner car. Among its many credentials, “La Marquise” is a steam-powered four-wheeled car that is believed to have won the first automobile race.

This car will be auctioned off at Pebble Beach in August. It is expected to bring in 1.5-2 million dollars. Link -via Fark
