Summary
Beautiful vehicle, which I'm sure some of you will be able to identify, at Larne, Co. Antrim...Thanks to Niall McAuley, we now have an exact location for this photo on Chaine Memorial Road, right opposite the Chaine Memorial ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaine_Memorial ) , a lighthouse replica of an Irish Round Tower erected in memory of James Chaine, a former M.P. for Larne.....One of our NLI Facebook people has identified the gentleman with the impressive moustache in the front seat as Larne hotelier, Henry McNeill, and also reports that this vehicle was said to be Larne's first motor vehicle. We came across McNeill's Hotel in Larne before ( nlireland/6594124035/ ) .....Following much discussion below on the make and model of the car, the final word has gone to Bob Montgomery 2012, and this is definitely a Daimler Wagonette, circa 1899/1900...Date: 1899..NLI Ref.: L_ROY_06169 ( L_ROY_06169 )
The automobile was first invented and perfected in Germany and France in the late 1890s. Americans quickly came to dominate the automotive industry after WWI. Throughout this initial era, the development of automotive technology was rapid. Hundreds of small manufacturers competing to gain the world's attention. Key developments included the electric ignition system, independent suspension, and four-wheel brakes. Transmissions and throttle controls were widely adopted and safety glass also made its debut. Henry Ford perfected mass-production techniques, and Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler emerged as the “Big Three” auto companies by the 1920s. Car manufacturers received enormous orders from the military during World War II, and afterward automobile production in the United States, Europe, and Japan soared.
