It had considerable interior space. The doors and side panels were paper
thin. I'm just 6'. Me and my big hair [at the time] fit into it just
fine.

In the summer of '72, I towed it to the east coast behind another car.
Everywhere we stopped it drew crowds, and people wanted to know what it
was. Some would not believe it was a Honda. They said stuff like, "Honda
doesn't make cars."

I'd point at the name on it. One guy somewhere insisted that I had put
the badge on the car. He just wouldn't believe me...
