Celebrating 50 Years of US Auto Sales
Honda has come a long way over the past 50 years. Our first sale on American soil came in 1969, when we sold our first N600 in Hawaii. In 1970, we moved east, opening our first continental U.S. dealership in Northern California. We made a bold leap in 1983 and became the first Japanese automaker to manufacture vehicles in the US. Fifty years later, we’re more committed than ever to the USA and all of its people. Today, over 91% of Honda vehicles are made in North America by our dedicated employees in communities across the country. As we look toward the next 50 years in the USA, we reflect on all of our achievements over the last 50.
