1958 Honda Super Cub

-

The 50cc C100 Super Cub is the biggest selling motor vehicle in history, having racked up 100 million sales in its so-far 63-year existence. With a simple 49cc pushrod engine, automatic clutch engagement, large 17 inch wheels, pressed steel spine type frame, plastic leg shields and mudguards, the Super Cub could be ridden by anyone, and returned prenominal fuel consumptio­n. The electric start C102 version, introduced in 1960, further extended the appeal to a whole new generation of riders who flocked to showrooms – a marketing milestone that was achieved with a catchy and effective advertisin­g campaign, “You meet the nicest people on a Honda”.
