Wow, the music! Reminds me of the original Planet of the Apes or Six Million Dollar Man.

Very interesting. I got a kick out of the drafting boards and the mainframe computers with tape drives. I had a 73 Civic, what a great little car. It is the one that started me off with Honda products.

Also was amused by the mainframe and open space drafting tables all pre-cubeville!

Interesting video, I didn't know Honda marketing values in the early seventies were also about safety and environment. Alot of the early Honda's were not necessarily safe for their era, but their commitment to the environment has always been very true to lower emissions.
