About

Welcome to Barchetta, home of all things relating to automotive history and culture. I mainly focus on transportation design. In the QUICKFIRE REVIEWS series, we'll discuss the styling of cars both new and old. The INDUSTRY ICONS series will take us through a journey through the careers of the most influential people in the automotive industry. From time to time, you can also expect to see longer-form content that dissects a particular subject in car/design history. There will also occasionally be pieces going over more general industrial design, art history, and architecture. As always, if you have an idea for a video that you'd like me to make, then be sure to let me knew through either video comments or the channel discussion tab.

Video Description

Soichiro Honda is one of the most significant figures in automotive history. He overcame repeated failure to establish Honda Motor Company, a dominant force in both motorcycles and automobiles. His company was founded in the ashes of postwar Japan and grew to become the planet's largest producer of motorcycles. They also became champions on the racetrack on both two and four wheels. And he oversaw an unlikely entrance into the world of cars and laid the groundwork down for one of the most dominant automakers in the world. This is the story of Soichiro Honda: King of the Motorcycles.
