Description
Full color 10″ x 13″ ad for a 1964 Honda Super Sport that is in action at the docks. In this photo there is a man in a uniform driving this Honda at a fairly high rate of speed as his lady passenger has one hand around his waist and the other holding her head to make sure that it doesn’t come flying off. The ad headline is that “You meet the nicest people on a Honda“ which I seem to recall was somewhat in style back then. The text says “How about practicing a little step-upmanship? In this case, a Honda Super Sports. Something a bit more assertive, yet well mannered. Never gulps gas. Just sips it: 185 miles to the gallon. The 50cc, 4-stroke engine handles 50 mph with quiet assurance. Other manly assets include: 4-speed shift, manual clutch, cam-type brakes on both wheels. And it sells for $285, plus a modest set-up charge. You might as well move up in the world. Ride the remarkable Honda Super Sports. For address of your nearest dealer or other manufacturer, write: American Honda Motor Co., Inc.”. 1964 Honda Super Sport
