On the auction block is the world's oldest working "car," if you can call it that, an 1884 De Dion Bouton. It's so old it doesn't even have the crank in the front; you gotta shovel coal into the "engine" and let it warm up for 30 minutes, making it virtually impossible to steal.
The steam-powered contraption is going on sale in California next month, where it's expected to fetch in the neighborhood of US $2 mil.
