Original – The Benz Patent-Motorwagen (or motorcar), built in 1886, is widely regarded as the first automobile; that is, a vehicle designed to be propelled by a motor. The vehicle was awarded the German patent, number 37435, for which Karl Benz applied on January 29, 1886. Following official procedures, the date of the application became the patent date for the invention once the patent was granted, which occurred in November of that year.

• Neutral There may be a size requirement issue, the image isn't lead (I'm lifting someone else's term) in the article, and I actually prefer the lead image in Benz Patent-Motorwagen, except it's a tiny photograph. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 19:56, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
