This dimension groups vehicles by the company that built them. Wikipedia records that "the first car in series production appeared in 1886, when Carl Benz developed a gasoline-powered automobile and made several identical copies," an early example of one manufacturer producing more than a single vehicle. Browsing by manufacturer lets a visitor follow everything one company built, across models and decades.
