The Accord: Then & Now ⏪️ 

One of the first Honda models manufactured in America, the Honda Accord is getting ready to celebrate a half-century of excellence. We’ve talked about the latest models of the Accord before, and now it’s time to rewind to the beginning.

The first generation Honda Accord was launched as a 3-door hatchback in 1976. a year later, the four-door sedan was added to the lineup, with more power. By 1983 the Honda Accord had a facelift, was predominately manufactured in Maryland, and had carried more power.

In it’s nearly half-century as one of America’s favorites, the Honda Accord has pushed boundaries in not being afraid to think outside the box. The eleven generations of Honda Accord have seen the variety of pop-up lights, 3-doors, shag carpeting, increased horsepower, and now an available hybrid powertrain.

The advertisement from 1983 still remains the same today in 2024; The Honda Accord is not all that obvious… or is it? What do you think?
