Vintage Honda Products and Showrooms Featured in Latest Honda Kokoro Videos

Like a time machine transporting viewers back to an earlier era, the newest videos in the Honda Kokoro™ series take visitors on a virtual visit to original style Honda showrooms of the 1960s and ‘70s, as seen at the Mungenast Classic Automobiles & Motorcycles Museum.

The Honda Kokoro™ video series celebrates the heritage, culture, people and products that make Honda unique. “Kokoro” means “heart” in Japanese.

This year, Honda is marking 50 years of automobile sales in America and the Mungenast family is an integral part of the brand’s American legacy. The Mungenast museum was established by the late Dave Mungenast, Sr., who became a Honda motorcycle dealer in St. Louis, MO, in 1965, and went on to establish a Honda auto dealership and one of the first Acura dealers in the U.S., in 1986. The Mungenast Automotive Family continues to operate all three dealerships in St. Louis.

The two-part video based on the Mungenast museum, tells the story of the relationship between Dave Sr. and his family with the Honda brand and includes a focus on both Honda automotive history and motorcycle history, through the products and memorabilia housed at the museum. The two videos include:
