I’ve always been interested in automotive support and marketing items from owner's manuals to sales brochures. There was no better way to get acquainted with a new-to-me older vehicle than to flip through those musty pages. With more car shopping done online and operating instructions contained within a vehicle's infotainment system, the days of looking at dog-eared ephemera are fading at a pace that's overtaking the actual flyers themselves.

I was cleaning out a bottom drawer recently and came across an owner's manual for a 1972 Honda N600 sedan I once owned. I have a soft spot for oddball and orphan cars and the first Honda cars imported to the U.S. market fits squarely into that niche.
