The first steam-powered car was developed by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in 1769. Henry Ford's Model T wasn't built until 1908. Yet he made cars affordable for the common man, which means America will always remember the Model T. It wasn't long till kids were playing with toy cars. While kids played with them, they were able to dream about the car they would own someday. Play carpets with roads and cityscapes will take your child's play sessions with toy cars to the next level.
