Timeline of motor vehicle brands
Encyclopedia
This is a chronological index for the start year for motor vehicle brands (up to 1969). For manufacturers that went on to produce many models, it represents the start date of the whole brand; for the others, it usually represents the date of appearance of the main (perhaps only) model that was produced.

This also gives an idea of what motor vehicles were appearing on the streets in each country around each date (allowing, too, for imports from other countries). Moreover, by showing which models were contemporary, it gives a first indication of how individual designers were being influenced by each other, and a flavor of the entrepreneurial spirit and dynamics of the pioneering days of motor vehicle manufacture.

(Notation: where a line ends with a comma, it indicates that the list is not yet complete, and that work is still actively, and recently, on-going; the reader is referred to the Unsorted section for material that is still in the process of being sorted.)

The material for this page has been obtained from the sources that are listed in the Sources section.
