The Mazda car company started in
1920 as a tiny cork manufacturer in Hiroshima, Japan called Tokyo Cork Togyo Co,
LTD. In 1927 the company renamed itself to Toyo Kogyo Co., Ltd and then started
manufacturing machine tools.
By 1931 they moved to vehicle manufacturing and started producing 3 -wheeled
trucks. Company founder Jujiro Matsuda chose the word "Mazda" for their vehicles
because it was the name of the Zoroastrian god of good and light.
In 1960 production started on their first Mazda automobile, the R360 coupe. In
1961, the company entered into a technical partnership with NSU and Wankel to
develop and produce rotary engines.
In 1970 Mazda Motor of America was started and one of the first cars imported
into the United States was the R100 coupe, the first mass-produced
rotary-powered car in America.
Soon after they imported a Wankel-powered (rotary) pickup truck and Mazda
remains the only automaker to produce one.
In 1977 Mazda introduced the piston-engine GLC and marks Mazda’s transition to
piston-engines for its non-sports car models. The highly popular GLC also began
a compact model line that has its direct decendants in the 323, Protegé and
MAZDA3.
