This is an easy quiz, the question and answer in one post! Let's make it more difficult.
1919 - that's the answer. What's the question? |

Wrong! Think of inventions rather than a whole car. |

Q?: What was invented in 12,500 BC
A!: The Wheel. Ancient carvings show that it was invented by a woman
However, in 12,496, other ancient carvings show a man cutting off all the corners.
This action was noted in ancient manuscripts with the woman asking
"why did it take you so long to finish the job !!" |

Fred Duesenburg invented the hydraulic brakes and used them on his race car in 1914, he didn't patent them.
Malcolm Lougheed (Lockheed) developed a hydraulic brake system in 1918 and made a fortune. |

| That is the first time I have heard about the Duesenberg racing car brakes, but Duesenberg was first to use Lockeed hydraulic brakes on a production car. 1919 for the 1920 model year. |
