I've always wanted to know more about the history of the automobile. Can you tell me where to start?

The best place to start is with the first cars, which were built in the late 19th century. You can learn a lot about the early automotive industry by reading books and articles from that era. There are also some great resources online, like the Society of Automotive Historians' website, which has an extensive collection of primary sources on the early car industry.
