First car in the Philippines

The first car to ever travel on the streets of the Philippines was this 9-horsepower, 2-cylinder 1904 Richard Brasier roadster. It was brought into the country by the trading firm Estrella del Norte in 1904.

Richard Braiser was a French automobile maker founded in 1902. The company closed down in 1930.

The car is on display at the Mind Museum in Taguig, on loan from Pilipinas Shell.
