On September 12, 2023, the American Honda Collection Hall officially opened its doors in Southern California. This newly inaugurated hall provides a unique opportunity for visitors to explore over 60 historic and significant Honda and Acura automobiles, motorcycles, power equipment, race machines, engines, and concept models. Located in the main lobby of the American Honda headquarters in Torrance, California, the Collection Hall serves as a tribute to Honda's remarkable contributions to American life and marks significant milestones in the company's history in the United States.

A Celebration of Honda's History
The American Honda Collection Hall's grand opening saw the participation of community leaders, Honda officials, associates, and retirees. This 20,000-square-foot display showcases products spanning more than six decades since American Honda Motor Co., Inc. was established in 1959 as the first Honda company outside of Japan. The collection includes a diverse array of cars, motorcycles, power equipment, race cars, and more.

What makes this collection particularly special is that it will be open to the public during regular "Cars, Bikes & Coffee" events starting next month. These events are not only an opportunity to admire these historical treasures but also a chance for the community to come together and celebrate Honda's legacy in America.

Every other month, visitors are encouraged to drive or ride their own interesting vehicle or motorcycle to show off while enjoying the Collection Hall, special exhibits, the Power of Dreams Café, and merchandise store.
