Why can't I declare class objects right after I make the class?

[SomeAmazingGuy]

The header file below is what I am using for another file, but I'm a little bit confused about why I can't declare class objects right after I define a class.

#ifndef CARPROGRAM_H
#define CARPROGRAM_H

using namespace std;

class Car
{
    int yearModel;
    string make;
    int speed;

public:
    Car (int x)
    {
        yearModel = x;
        speed = 0;
    }

    int getYearModel()
    {
        return yearModel;
    }

    string getMake ()
    {
        return make;
    }

    int getSpeed ()
    {
        return speed;
    }

    int accelerate ()
    {
        speed += 5;
    }

    int brake ()
    {
        speed -= 5;
    }

}object;               //compiler says there's an error here

#endif

Why not just make the object where you are going to use it?

#include "car.hpp"

int main()
{
    Car object;
}

*Edit as mentioned by mobotus you never created a constructor with no arguments.

Because your constructor takes an argument.

There is no Car() there is only a Car(int), but you try to make an object with without arguments.
