There were officially no cars in 1885. But Karl Benz had actually built the very first practical automobile in late 1885. It was called the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. It had a single cylinder engine putting out .9 h.p. It had 3 wheels and was steered with a tiller. It sold for $1,000 which is equal to around $24,000 in todays 2014 money.
