Honda started out as part vendor for Toyota in the 50's, they started with manufacture piton ring for Toyota.
Their first product that sell to consumer was motorized bike then motorcycle then tiny cars (N360, N600 and S600) with motorcycle engines from 360cc to 600cc.
Until early 70's Honda was number 7 or 8 of Japan car companies in term of volume, behind Toyota, Nisan, Mazda, Isuzu, Daihatsu, Suzuki ... I think they are either number 2 or 3 in Japanese now.
