The 1769 Cugnot on its way to Rétromobile 2011.

• 

The very first automobile was a frontwheel drive steam engined three wheeler. We all know it from stories, from pictures, from books, from websites. And of course from the letterhead of SAH. But how many of us have ever seen it in real? Early February next year the radical invention of Nicolas Joseph Cugnot will roll into the halls of Rétromobile new style. Never saw it driving? Check here.
The 2011 Rétromobile will be a bit different. Five days instead of ten. Many standkeepers see this as a blessing. For the visitors the event will be even more concentrated, more spectacular than before. With everything compressed like in Cugnot's steam kettle. (illustrations courtesy Rétromobile)
