The Historical Points Of Honda

The Historical Points Of Honda

The landscape of automobile manufacturers included Americans, Germans, French, British, and Italians. While other countries participated in this industry, few made more than an odd ripple in the tide. This would eventually change and the beginnings date back to the late 1940s.

In Japan, cars were being made before the war. Some Japanese built cars go back almost as far as the turn of the 20th century. According to Marco Ruiz’s book The Complete History of the Japanese Car, a few Takuris, Tokyo’s DATs, and Mitsubishis were produced before 1920, as well as a handful of other cars.

Then someone came up with the idea of something called a “turn signal” to let other drivers know which way you were thinking of going. That led to another great idea, “brake lights” that let the guy behind you know you were slowing down.
