I don't think your friend was correct. The American "Christie" car company produced front wheel drive cars with transverse engines from 1904 onwards - including a V4 engined racing car without a gearbox

In the UK Alvis and BSA produced FWD cars in the twenties, as did Citroen and Audi on the continent.
Don't know who was first though ..
