No, making cars was never outright illegal. Operating a cap company, (or rather an illegal one), without proper licensing was. Operating a hotel out of your house was. Nice strawman.

- maccam94 10y agoUhhh it was basically illegal to make cars in the US from ~1903 to 1911 due to restrictive licensing policies aimed at excluding competitors from the market: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Licensed_Automobile_Manufacturers#Control_of_the_industry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Licensed_Automo... Ford Motor Co produced cars without such a license and eventually a case went to court. Ford initially lost but then the ruling was overturned.
