The Japanese car manufacturer, Daihatsu, was founded in 1951, but its history goes back to the early years of the 20th century. In 1907, Daihatsu's forerunner, the Hatsudoki Seizo Company was formed.
From the outset, Daihatsu sought to produce small affordable cars. Two of its earlier launches were the three wheel Midget Model DKA in 1957 and the Bee' which was also a three-wheeler in 1958. The company specialised in manufacturing small passenger Daihatsu cars but all were three wheelers. It was not until 1958 that the company launched its first four-wheel model.
