Only prints 'not equal' won't print 'equal'

when I run the if statement in the console it only prints 'not equal' even though car_one and car_two are equal

    def __init__(self, model, year, make='Ford', gas=100):
        # Instance Attributes
        self.make = make
        self.model = model
        self.year = year
        self.gas = gas
        # instance attributes don't have
        # to be passed in
        self.is_moving = False


    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.make} {self.model} {self.year}'

    def __eg__(self, other):
        return self.make == other.make and self.model == other.model 
car_one = Car("Mustang", 1908)
car_two = Car("Mustang", 1908)
car_three = Car('Branco', 2024)

if car_one == car_two:
    print('equal')
else:
    print('not equal')
