like so many other videos, this working replica of the 1770 Cugnot steam vehicle, has a video with no reason to watch the first minute

  1. Was seriously surprised to see the Florida license plate.

    Were they trying to be funny, or does Florida actually require them to register this vehicle?

    1. probably required so it can be used on public city streets... but I am guessing. I haven't spoken with these guys to learn about their replica

  3. It was built by Alain Cerf who owns the Tampa Bay Auto Museum. He drove it in downtown Tampa last year for display at the inaugural Gasparilla Concour's d'Elegance. Made for a pretty cool sight, but I'm surprised it's licensed.

    1. That name sounds familiar... anyway, wow, owns the museum? Dang! That's got to be hard to make profitable, and on top of that, have the cash to build replicas of famous ancient steam cars!
      I'm surprised it's licensed too
