The Fascinating History Of Honda Motor Company
The history of Honda motor company is fascinating to say the least. Soichiro Honda, a Japanese autophile has loved cars since a very young age and from there, his passion just grew. At the tender age of fifteen, he started working as an auto repair technician, dreaming of becoming a famous motor racer. When he had free time, he would build race cars and work on his Harley Davidson.
The talent of this entrepreneur was natural and this allowed him to start his own vehicle repair shop in the year 1928. He attended technical school to add new skills to his inborn knowledge. It was also in 1928 that he secured a patent on wheel spokes for automobiles. This was the first of many innovations.
Generator motors were much in demand during the period of the Second World War, which ravaged Japan. Honda was able to corner the market on these motors. This resulted in much capital that allowed him to start the first Honda Motor Company, Ltd. In Hamanatsu. At the time, they found a niche in the manufacturing of motorcycles.
With only twenty people in his employ, Honda developed their first motorcycle with a two-speed transmission and three-horse power, known as the Dream D. It was not an expensive and was light on fuel. This motorcycle established the company as a force to be reckoned with in Japan and eventually worldwide by 1959.
Global expansion became a reality of the Honda Empire in the latter parts of the 1950s. He expanded into America. These launches were not free from teething troubles, but once they were on track, they were set for success. At the same time, Soichiro started fulfilling his dreams of being a race car driver. He won a race in the Isle of Man in the 60s. This helped to boost the image of the company.
In 1962, Honda launched their first cars and trucks. At first, the public was skeptical about the ability of a motorcycle manufacturer could successfully create a good quality car or truck. The Civic was launched in 1972 amidst environmental concerns in the American market. These cars were now exported to Japan. The Accord completed the success story.
In 1973, Soichiro Honda retired after fulfilling his vision. He left Kiyoshi Kawashima to carry on the legacy of the corporation. In 1981, the company won a first place in the world motor cross. Tetsua Chino was crowned the new president of the AHMC in 1983. The company received a number of honorary distinctions, including Motor Trend Import Cars of the Year selections.
After 25 years, the company made record sales thanks to its enormous popularity worldwide. The company's selection of Odysseys, Acuras, Passports, Preludes, Civics and Accords all carry the Honda seal of excellence. Enthusiasts from around the world will attest to the excellence of this range of motorcycles and automobiles. Honda became the first Asian who was inducted into America's Automotive Hall of Fame. The company now employs thousands of workers worldwide as one of the most popular brands of motorcycles, trucks, generators and motor vehicles.

Honda Civic $144.98 The Honda Civic is a line of compact cars developed and manufactured by Honda. In North America, the Civic is the secondlongest continuouslyrunning nameplate from a Japanese manufacturer; only the Toyota Corolla, introduced in 1968, has been in production longer. The Civic, along with the Accord and Prelude, comprised Hondas vehicles sold in North America until the 1990s, when the model lineup was expanded. Having gone through several generational changes, the Civic has become larger and more upmarket, and it currently slots between the Fit and Accord. It was introduced in July 1972 as a twodoor coupe, followed by a threedoor hatchback that September. With the transverse engine mounting of its 1169 cc engine and frontwheel drive like the British Mini, the car provided good interior space despite overall small dimensions. Early models of the Civic were typically outfitted with a basic AM radio, heater, foamcushioned plastic trim, twospeed wipers and painted steel rims with a chromed wheel nut cap.
