Talk:Benz Velo

Standardized? By what measure?
From what I understand, the first car proven to be standardized was the 1907 Cadillac Model K, which won the Dewar Trophy by having three cars disassembled, their parts thoroughly mixed up and assembling three cars from the mixture of parts. By what measure were the Benz Velo and the Duryea Motor Wagon "standardized"? Respectfully, SamBlob (talk) 18:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

"Automatic" transmission
Whoa whoa whoa there - can someone bring some clarity to that claim made in the boxout? It'd be quite a radical change to the accepted history of automotive gearing and power transmission to have a pre-1900 horseless carriage featuring a multi-speed automatic shift. There's nothing said about it in the article either way. We could really do with knowing whether that's a lazy mistake or a factoid worthy of serious expansion. 193.63.174.115 (talk) 09:30, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
