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.
