While the world’s oldest camera was auctioned off for nearly $800,000, the world’s oldest running car will be up for auction at Pebble Beach in August and is anticipated to fetch in 1.5 to 2 million dollars. Dubbed De Dion-Bouton et Trapardoux, this car was built in France in 1884 and is a three owner car. A steam-powered four-wheeled car called La Marquise is amongst its many credentials that is said to have won the first automobile race. To run this vintage car, one has to first stoke the car with coal, wood, or paper and then wait for almost half an hour to generate sufficient steam for the car to make it run. Amazingly, the top speed on the car is 38 miles-per-hour. If you have a passion for vintage cars, I don’t think you are going to miss this one.

That’s really expensive but you have the oldest car and if you’re really a collector for old stuff, you will really buy and spend your budget for this one. And I think Racepages.com will help you with this one. If you want t o pimp old cars and stuck some parts on it, they will be a great help.

it’s really pricey but it’s rare to see such vintage cars like this one, esp. vintage cars that are still running and in top condition. whoever bought it needs to take care of it and cover it up with Replacement Cover to keep it out from severe damage.
