The Honda 145 series  is a small car of the car manufacturer Honda from the 1970s.

History

The successors of the technically interesting, but probably less successful because of the air-cooled engine type 1300 were built under the name 145 from 1972 to 1974. The 145 appeared to the Japanese but probably as a swan song to a bygone era, because the more modern Civic already conquered the market. Therefore, only 9,736 units (sedans and coupes) were built. Variant of: 1300.  Models and variants: four-door saloon; two-door coupé. 

The new, liquid-cooled 1.45-liter engine, which at first glance looks like a Civic engine, was installed in the virtually unchanged body of its predecessor 1300 . However, the received 145 Coupe rectangular headlights as the sedan of the original version of the model 77 . Even the suspension has not changed.
