Was the first car ever made a Benz?

Amazingly, no.

The very first documented case of any vehicle was the cugnot steam vehicle somewhere in the 1700's. It only went 2 mph every few hours. Also, it made the first car accident in history, because it slammed into a brick wall.

So I'm guessing they just stuck with walking until about a hundred years later, Karl Benz invented a 3-wheel vehicle made in 1886.
