This frail gasoline-engined buggy started it all when it was driven on the streets of Springfield, Mass., on September 21, 1893. The second Duryea built won the Chicago Times-Herald Motocycle Race, Nov. 28, 1895.

Although they did not build the first American automobile, the Duryeas—like a number of other early automobile pioneers—claimed they built the first American car.
