William Howard Taft
The first car-owning President was Theodore Roosevelt, who had a Stanley Steamer.
Others say that Taft was the first.
William H Taft, the 27th President was the first President (1909-1913) to own a car.
because he was the first president to own a car so, he had to have a place to put it.
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.
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.

Warren Harding was the first President who regularly drove a car before entering office and became the first President to ride to his inauguration in an automobile, which was a Packard Twin Six supplied by the Republican National Committee. Theodore Roosevelt may have made a go at driving after he was the first president to ride in a car. There was not much traffic in those days.
