Description

1919: Kubota (the tractor company) forms a subsidiary to manufacture cars, named it 實用自動車 (Jitsuyo Automobiles) in Osaka. American William R. Gorham previously had approached Kubota with a design for a two passenger three-wheeled car powered by Harley-Davidson motorcycle engine. Here is a picture of that vehicle. This company would later become part of or merge with Datsun.

Jitsuyo's first product is the small three-wheeled 'Gorham' car. Production of the Gorham 3-wheeler is about 30 units per month. About 150 Gorhams are sold.
