Description

Honda Motorcycle Ad April 1964Full color 10″ x 14″ ad that shows a nicely-dressed couple riding along a street past a lot of blurred signs, people and buildings. The lady is on the back and, with her red-dress on, she is sitting with both legs hanging off the right side. She has her white-gloved hands on the man’s shoulders and he is driving at this good speed without dislodging his hat. The headline reminds us that “You meet the nicest people on a Honda. The text starts out with the reminder that Hondas are very uptown” and explains this by saying that “They never gulp gas, just sip it; 200 miles to the gallon”. They then say that “The 4-stroke 50cc engine performs brilliantly. With just enough bite to hold an uncomplaining 45 mph”. The other niceties include a 3-soeed transmission, automatic clutch, cam-type brakes on both wheels and an optional pushbutton starter. And it only costs $245.00.  1964 Honda 50
