The Brass Car Era featured cars and trucks built between 1890 and 1918

The Brass Car Era marks the start of automotive history, when steam engines had fancy brass fittings and brass lanterns were a natural addition to the new 'horseless carriage'. Brass cars were typically built with carriage wood and forged steel, and fitted with electric motors or steam engines. The Brass Car Era began with the sale of the first commercial vehicle in the 1890's and lasted until the early 1900's, when mass production and gasoline engines started the Antique Car Era.

Such very old vehicles present special challenges to today's collectors. Replacement parts must nearly always be handmade and basic documentation such as wiring diagrams and specification sheets are often nonexistent.
