Where it all Began.

Germany is the cradle of modern-day car industry.  The first German car made in 1885 set the tone for the automobile revolution throughout the world.  It all began with Karl Benz who manufactured the first German car Motorwagen in 1885.  It looked like a horse carriage and was also the first motor car in the world.

Soon thereafter, Benz developed a better model running on gasoline and went into commercial production in 1887.  The vehicle hit the market next year and was an instant hit.  In 1888, Benz's wife famously traveled 65 miles in the car to see her ailing father.  It drew public attention and soon Benz's car began to be sold in Germany and France.

Today, Germany is the fourth biggest producer of cars in the world.  German car makers, such as Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler, Porsche, and Audi, produce six million cars at home and another 5.5 million abroad. When one of them needs maintenance in the Denver area most folks rely on The German Car Shoppe of Littleton. Merry Christmas and Fröhliche Weihnachten from our family to yours.
