What was the first auo with power everything

Many years ago I read about a car way ahead of it's time. German I think.
Big monster a touring car a/c;autotranny;powersteering;brakes;seats;windows you name it it had it.

I did a google search no joy. I looked up deusengerg and stutz but they were american. Those name stuck out in my mind so the name may be similar.
Built sometime early 1800's.

Anybody have any idea????

Thanks.

My vote is for Packard.

Not German, but they were incorporating power accessories like that long before anyone else was here in the States...

Surprisingly enough, it might have been the 1952 caddy -- golden anniversary for the company. Chrysler introduced power steering in 51, but the caddy might be the first with everything.

The power brakes could have been hydroboost -- used the power steering pump instead of vacuum. It also might have had the automatic headlight dimmer.

Just looked most of this up couldn't find a lot of info -- but then I'm not DonJamer.

As for A/C, I think that it was said that about that time there were EIGHT air conditioners in all of England, but every new caddy had one.
