Automobile

In Call of Juarez: The Cartel the main mode of transportation is from automobiles. In Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Silas Greaves' horse is startled by a Ford Model T that passes by.



History
An automobile, autocar, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. The year 1886 is regarded the year of birth of the modern automobile—with the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, by German inventor Karl Benz. Motorized wagons soon replaced animal-drafted carriages, when the Ford Model T was introduced in 1908. It was estimated in 2010 that the number of automobiles had risen to over 1 billion vehicles, up from the 500 million of 1986. The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in China, India and other NICs.

A Ford Model T makes a brief appearance in the beginning of the game as one drives past Silas Greaves, startling his horse.

Call of Juarez: The Cartel
Automobiles come in many forms: Cars, SUVs, Trucks, Tractor Trailers, motorcycles, and muscle cars. The vast majority of these are driven by Civilians. Others are  simply parked and cannot be interacted with.
