1882 William Heim Daimler, an engineer in China, used electric spark as an automatic ignition device to ignite the engine. Then, based on this invention, he built an excellent gasoline engine. This kind of engine rotates 900 revolutions per minute, which is simple and compact in structure and can generate great power. 1883, Daimler completed this gasoline engine, and the next year began to assemble it on two-wheelers, tricycles and four-wheelers to make a gasoline-powered car. In particular, the gasoline engine four-wheel truck manufactured by 1886 is equipped with 1.5 horsepower engine, and the speed is18km per hour. The model displayed in the window is the world's first four-wheeled car with an engine.
1886, Carl Benz made the world's first three-wheeled car powered by gasoline, and applied for a patent on June 29+65438 of the same year. Therefore, 65438+1October 29th is considered as the world automobile birth day, and 1886 is the world automobile birth year. The car is equipped with a horizontal single-cylinder two-stroke gasoline engine, with a volume of 785cc, 0.89 horsepower and a speed of 15 km/h. The front wheel of this car is small and the rear wheel is big. The motor is placed above the rear axle, and the power drives the rear wheel to move forward through the chain and gear.
Together with the first car in the world, it is the first red flag CA72 independently developed and manufactured in China. Hongqi CA72 was born under the condition of extremely backward technology. It created a miraculous creative process, entrusted people's deep affection for national cars, and inspired a generation with a great spiritual strength. The red flag is the beginning of China's automobile dream, the chief car of national leaders, the symbol of the highest diplomatic courtesy, and the first internationally renowned flag of China Automobile. On the occasion of the anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC) 1959 10, this red flag CA72, as the first batch of CA72, was displayed in Tiananmen Square together with nine other prototypes. They walked slowly through the joyful crowd and were watched and cheered by people.
On the two walls of the corridor on the first floor, some car cultures occupy an important time node in China, and they also come to the audience in the form of words.
The collection hall on the second floor of Shanghai Automobile Museum has been completely upgraded from the original antique garage of the museum, with an exhibition area of nearly 2,000 square meters. 201April New opening to the outside world. The exhibition space includes seven sections: Boiling Years, Last Romance, Flying All the Way, Swaying Car Shadow, Mini Charm, National Dream and Legendary Car. The exhibits cover nearly 40 precious antique cars produced in the last century. Among so many antique cars, I saw this Peugeot 39 model at a glance, which seems to have an inexplicable fate with it.
Peugeot automobile has a long history, and Peugeot brand is the second oldest automobile brand in the world. 1889, Peugeot automobile company of France began to manufacture cars. 1890, the first Peugeot brand "type 2" burns gasoline (type? 2) The car was launched in Valentine, and mass production began the following year.
Peugeot 39 was put into production on 1902, and its appearance is close to that of modern cars, such as 4-cylinder gasoline engine, 3-speed transmission and pneumatic rubber tires. Its configuration makes the car more powerful, more convenient to control and more stable to run. Bright copper headlights, exquisite leather seats and gorgeous and harmonious colors add to its noble quality, giving people a sense of elegance and extraordinary bearing.
The output of Peugeot 39 reached 100 in the first year, which became a successful model of French cars in the market. Owning such a car and driving it to travel was definitely a symbol of wealth and fashion at that time.
The copper headlights on both sides of the front of the car have a huge lens area and rely on candles to provide light source.
At that time, the beautiful wooden ten-wheel plus inflatable rubber tires that were just used were also quite high.
These two exquisite leather seats look very textured even at present, so they should be more comfortable to sit on.
Compared with the extraordinary appearance and exquisite seats, the control system of this Peugeot 39 is somewhat "simple".
The birth of Peugeot car coincided with the beginning of the 20th century. It was an era when new technologies, new theories and new inventions were constantly being introduced. Everything was budding and everything was possible. At that time, people may not be able to predict the future development of cars, but they are deeply fascinated by the power and speed displayed by cars.
The Peugeot brand, which has been inherited for nearly a hundred years, has been excellent, charming and emotional since its birth. At present, Peugeot brand has established a sales network in 160 countries around the world, with nearly 10,000 sales outlets. In 2020, Peugeot ranked 10 1 in the Fortune Global 500 list.

For example, this 1970 Shanghai brand convertible is an extremely rare advanced inspection vehicle, which was specially designed and manufactured for receiving foreign guests and parades and celebrations at that time. This car embodies the design concept of dignified and elegant China car and attaches importance to national dignity.
In addition to the real car display, there are many models of classic cars in the exhibition area on the second floor, which also look exquisite.
In addition to the exhibition area on the first, second and third floors of the museum, there are many antique models on the walking stairs. Don't miss it ~
I have been driving this brand-new Dongfeng Peugeot 2008 for several months, but I am still addicted to its appearance. Lion claw LED front and rear headlights, fangs LED daytime running lights, 18 inch front two-color wheels and angular three-dimensional body lines all exude youthful and dynamic atmosphere.
The space inside the car is also spacious enough, and there is no pressure when the back row is occasionally filled with three people.
The body color of this modern orange is also very eye-catching, so that you can get a lot of attention wherever you go.
Dongfeng Peugeot? In 2008, just like the Peugeot 39 model a hundred years ago, it has elegant appearance, extraordinary bearing, more convenient control and smoother driving. This seems to be the impression that the French model has always given. Whenever I drive such a small SUV through the city, I will feel the power and speed it brings me, just like the surprise Peugeot brought to people a hundred years ago.
The whole Shanghai Automobile Museum gives a great impression, so it is worthwhile to spend some time to visit it. This encounter with Peugeot 39 also gave me a deeper understanding of Peugeot brand and history.
Time, this thing? Although untouchable, But the precipitation he accumulated will give us a lot. ? For example, a century-old Peugeot brand? In the long river of time, we are constantly innovating and keeping up with the trend of automobile development. Over and over again? Go on,? Create.
