We never were. Europe was making production, ICE cars decades before Henry Ford told the world that he invented the process

Ford didn't even claim that he invented the automobile. However, he did make the manufacturing process a lot faster, and therefore cheaper, so he was the first to sell them at a price that most people could afford.

He was also a turbo-racist who Hitler saw as an inspiration, but that's a different subject.
