A car's make is the brand of the vehicle, while the model refers to the name of a car product and sometimes a range of products. For example, Toyota is a car make and Camry is a car model. The make, model, model year, body style and trim level all have implications on the cost of a vehicle and its insurance rates
On January 29, 1886, Carl Benz applied for a patent for his “vehicle powered by a gas engine.” The patent – number 37435 – may be regarded as the birth certificate of the automobile. In July 1886 the newspapers reported on the first public outing of the three-wheeled

My first car was a Mazda 929-1997. Unfortunately I crashed it in high school-totaled $20,000 damage. Lucky to be alive with 3 other passengers. Accident was in 2001.

I have let a fortune worth of cars slip through my fingers over the years. Only if I had known.
I know, right! Your list of cars sounds amazing. How could we know that they would be worth a fortune nowadays...
