(From the Raleigh News & Observer Automotive Section)
"1. Born in Japan in 1906, he was a mechanic and a self-taught engineer with no formal education.
2. Before turning to automobiles, he was into motorcycles and revolutionized the industry.
3. By 1963, his were the most popular-selling motorcycles in the United States.
4. Although retiring 10 years after building his first car, he stayed on with the company as "supreme adviser".
Who is he?
Soichiro Honda was one of the most significant automotive figures of the 20th century. Although skeptical at first, North Americans now embrace Japanese cars as some of the finest in the world." |
