The brilliance of Soichiro Honda...

Nice article!! He proved them wrong, really cool. I remember those cvcc days. I clearly remember my dad had one in the 80's (wagon/hatch), says "5 speed" on the hatch (big deal back then I take it).

My friend's dad bought one of those tiny Civics in the early 70s. We used to sneak over in the middle of the night, pick it up and park it sideways in the driveway. It used to drive him nuts

If I recall correctly, those early models used an 1100 cc inline-4. Sound familiar?

Wow, that pic brings back some memories from the 80's. Except, my dad's was a 4 door hatch, and dark brown metallic.

My dad had no idea about servicing the car and oil changes, so the car never saw one oil change it's entire life (my dad swears by this), he only added oil here and there occasionally!! We make fun of my dad to this day about that. And the car, being a typical Honda, just kept going and going without one oil change ever. Never broke down!
