Ancient cars

Carts with tires are basically ancient cars
BUT what if, you took a cart, added two more wheels, add four rubber tires, cover in metal plates, add car part and voila! Car is ready!

"I've got a '34 wagon and we call it a woody,
Surf City, here we come"

Automobile bodies in the early days of motorized transport were made of wood; it was a direct change-over from making horse-drawn carriages. They were heavier, but no-one cared - fuel was cheap and plentiful (infinite is what they actually thought). The availability of skilled craftsmen to make the bodies, and the ready availability of wood, made early cars more affordable. As our steel-making technology got better, and we realized just how many of these things people were going to want, we started transitioning to metal body panels on the cars. It made them lighter - which improves handling, road wear, and fuel efficiency - and safer, because metal panels don't splinter when they're struck, unlike wood.

"car part" is the hard part!

EDIT: It would be fun to see horses added to the "Hand Cart With Tires" to make a wagon. Each "horse power" could make it go faster.
