Canada

First known vehicle in Canada, still existing and among the oldest passenger automobiles in the world. In 1867 Seth Taylor, a jeweler- watch maker from Stanstead, Quebec, unveiled his steam buggy which was the product of about seven years work. It was a 4 wheel, 1 seater, open carriage, high wheeler type, with tiller steering, a water tank over the front axle, and a coal fired boiler on the rear axle with 60 lbs of pressure. After crashing it after a few years of operation, Taylor abandoned automobile production. (Collins, p.3)
