I think that might be a mislabeled photo....IIRC the prewar models had weird shaped headlights, and they became round after the war:
 

 
From a time when American design was the trendsetter.

Honda 1300 (AKA N1300) ca. 1968-73, fwd, primarily a JDM model.
 
Yes... that's it. Sochiro Honda (the founder) was a motorcycle guy, and he believed that air cooled engines were the best answer.
 
Back in the 60's Honda even went Formula 1 racing with a transversely mounted fuel-injected 1.5 liter air-cooled V-12 with 4 valves per cylinder that reved to 11,000 rpm. They did well that year and actually won (fair and square - not because of accidents) the final race of the year.
 
Legend said that the mechanics used watch-makers tools to work on those tiny engines.

That worked.
 
Yeah, it helps when you post the link to the .jpg file rather than the address.
 
D'oh!
 
EDIT: Ironically, that car is for sale in Southern California. Not too many ended up here in the States, apparently; but, more than the Porsche 959.
