Vehicle Description
Economical and agile, this 1978 Honda Civic hatchback still looks
sharp in its crisp white finish. The compact profile and clean
lines showcase the revolutionary design that helped establish Honda
as a major player in the American market. This Japanese compact
features a simple yet effective exterior with 13" steel wheels
complemented by stylish beauty rings and Dunlop SP40AS 155/80R13
tires. The two-door hatchback configuration maximizes utility while
maintaining the small footprint that made these early Civics so
popular with drivers looking for fuel efficiency during the energy
crisis of the 1970s.
The blue vinyl interior offers a blast from the past with bucket
seats that have been treated to newer upholstery. The
straightforward dashboard layout puts everything within easy reach,
including the floor-mounted shifter for the automatic transmission.
This Civic comes equipped with an AM radio to provide some
entertainment during your drives. The blue theme carries throughout
the cabin with matching door panels, while the practical hatchback
design provides surprising cargo capacity for such a compact
vehicle.
The 1.5L inline-4 cylinder engine is paired with a unique 2-speed
"Monda-matic" manually selected automatic transmission. This
powertrain configuration offers simplicity and reliability,
hallmarks of Honda engineering even in these early days. The
braking system features power disc brakes up front and power drums
in the rear for adequate stopping power. This Civic represents
Honda's growing reputation for building small, efficient vehicles
that could stand up to daily use.
