There are antique cars and then there is the 1884 De Dion Bouton Et Trepardoux Dos-A-Dos Steam Runabout. At 127 years of age, the company auctioning the vehicle claims it to be the “oldest running motor car in the world.” The steam powered car can hit 38 miles per hour and is expected to fetch more than $2 million.

HotLap101:  im truly impressed by this find. You might want to turn your interest to a remarkable man who never gained the credit he deserved - "Emil Jellinik" also known as "Mr.Mercedes" was the one responsible behind the "Mercedes" name branding. In those early days races involved early make Mercedes vs Peugeots and your De Dions'. Thank you for this post! 8 months ago
Brent reposted to Rides — The oldest running car in the world! Named "La Marquise" after the Count de Dion's mother, this 127-year-old automobile had single-family ownership for 81 years and currently has only four owners from new. 8 months ago
