And  guess what? It still runs!The car, built in France in 1884, was  made a year before German auto makers Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz  started building and experimenting with gasoline-powered automobiles.  Henry Ford didn't even build his first automobile until 12 year after  this steam-powered car was built, reported CNNMoney.com.The car  is known as a De Dion-Bouton et Trepardoux, although it is nicknamed La  Marquise. It was first built for the founder of the company, French  Count De Dion. Suprisingly, the car has only had two other owners since  the French Count. The auction house, Gooding & Company, is handling  the auction of the car.<img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/sdcltk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
