Celebrating the 125th Anniversary of Cars

This year marks the 125th Anniversary of the automobile, and Automotive News Europe decided to celebrate by creating a Legend on Wheels poll. In hopes to determine the Ultimate Legend on Wheels, the voting allows you to pick one car from each of the last 13 centuries.

I had some fun picking my choices; names like Blitzen Benz (shown above) and Lancia Lambda provided some cheap laughs (FYI: we are fresh out of both cars on UsedCars.com). But I also learned some things. Like the Rolls-Royce Phantom was introduced in the early 1920s (I’d like to see Jay-Z trick out that ride)! And the Chevrolet Suburban debuted in the 1930s.

All-in-all it was a fun way to explore the history of the car. Head on over and submit your vote for the Ultimate Legend on Wheels.
