Horsey Horseless

The Horsey Horseless was an early automobile invented in 1899 by Uriah Smith, a Seventh-day Adventist preacher in Battle Creek, Michigan. A wooden horse head and neck were attached to the front to make Horsey Horseless resemble a horse and carriage, as this was believed to prevent horses on the road from being frightened. The horse head was hollow, and also served as the fuel tank. It is unknown whether or not Horsey Horseless was ever built. It was included in Time Magazine's 2007 list of "The 50 Worst Cars of All Time".
