Disneyland Autopia Attraction Now Sponsored By Honda
Honda has just announced that they are now officially the new sponsor of the classic Disneyland Resort ride Autopia. As such, they will be providing the resort with the means to help them update the ride with a new look and a refresh to the current storyline. The Autopia attraction is one of the original attractions that was part of the park when it first opened back in 1955 and it includes a series of cars that attendees can drive along a winding path around the park. While Honda may have just signed on as an official sponsor they have already been part of this ride for some time since all of the vehicles in the attraction are powered by Honda engines.
“Autopia has brought joy to generations of families and has created lasting memories for millions of Disneyland guests,” said Takuji Yamada, president & CEO of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Honda is proud to sponsor this iconic attraction and continue our alliance with Disneyland Resort.”

First Honda Vehicle in the U.S. is Being Restored
Honda is releasing a new video series called #HondaSerialOne, which will follow Honda mechanic, Tim Mings while he restores the very first Honda automobile in the United State, a 1967 Honda N600. Mings, who grew up restoring Honda vehicles with his father, is the only full-time Honda N600 mechanic in the world, having restored over 1,000 of them in his career.
There were only 50 1967 Honda N600 vehicles built, and only three have survived. Mings purchased one immediately when he came across it, and owned it for several years before discovering it was Serial 1000001, the first Honda automobile in the U.S.
After Tim restores this vehicle, it will be sent to the Honda Museum where Honda fans all over the world can see it and enjoy it. Keep up with Tim on the Honda video series and watch the first installment below!

Honda’s “Greatness is Within Reach” is a national campaign that shows how Honda vehicles are helping hardworking people achieve their dreams. Recently, Honda has released a new television campaign that will share the stories of three different people who are striving for success in their lives and careers. They focus in on coffee shop owner, Jesse Diaz, ballerina Karina Gonzalez, and executive chef Rick Lopez and show how their motivation, passion, and commitment are synonymous with the Honda brand’s philosophy.
“I started with $2,000 and a dream. Stay driven, stay motivated, stay happy, stay positive and surround yourself with the best people in the world,” says 33-year-old Diaz, who owns Dark Matter Coffee in Chicago. “We can teach people our trade; we can’t teach passion. If you want something in life, just go for it and don’t stop.”
“From the beginning I really knew this was my passion, and that I needed to do my best every time,” says 29-year-old Gonzalez who is a native Venezuelan principal ballerina of the Houston Ballet. “I think my best advice, especially for younger students, is to really believe in yourself. You can never be perfect but you can be excellent. Whatever you want in life, don’t be afraid to go for your dreams.”
34-year-old Lopez, executive chef at La Condesa, says “Always give your best because nobody can take that away from you,’ that’s what I feel. It’s not mentioned in the commercial but my first car was a Honda – and my wife has been driving one for quite a while. I have a very strong connection to this brand.”
