The Duryea Motor Wagon was among the first standardized automobiles and among the first powered by gasoline. Fifteen Motor Wagons were built by the Duryea company of Springfield, Massachusetts, between 1893 and 1896.
Before this time, all automobiles were one-off individual models, The first commercially available automobile was patented by Karl Benz on January 29, 1886 and put into production in 1888.
