The first United States President to have a car at the White House was William McKinley. It was a steam carriage driven by the inventor F.O. Stanley.
Warren Harding was the first President who knew how to drive a car before entering office and became the first President to ride to his inauguration in an automobile.
1908 was when the White House garage got its first car, a Stanley steamer for president Taft.
because he was the first president to own a car so, he had to have a place to put it.
My guess is Franklin Roosevelt. There is not much reason for a president to own a car while he lives in the White House. Harding knew how to drive when he became president but I do not know that he kept a car once he was president. Coolidge never learned to drive, so I don't think he would own a car while he was president. I know that FDR owned a special car with hand controls that he used when was at his little white house in Warm Springs, GA.
In November of 1899, William McKinley became the first president to ride in an automobile. The car was a steam carriage driven by its inventor, F.O. Stanley, at Washington, D.C.In August of 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt took the first public automobile ride by a president during a parade at Hartford, Connecticut, in a Columbia electric car.
I think Theodore Roosevelt was the first to ride in a car, but it was before he was president. McKinley was the first sitting president to ride in a car.
