Kris;
Not quite, they came in through Louisiana in the gulf and also New
Jersey on the East coast. Everything coming in on the West coast first
docked in Los Angeles then went by several means (mostly by truck). But
they were sold through out the USA. Sure, they may have come in to Seattle
or Portland by a ship but most of the receiving slips I have seen were by
truck. I even have a sales slip where a guy in Iowa traded his 1968, 250
Harley for a 1970 Honda 600 Sedan. He got $200 for the Harley, guess he
wanted to get out of the rain but hear the air cooled sound.
But think about it for a minute, Honda inported around 35000 AN600's and
15500 or so AZ600's between August of 1969 through August 1972. The first
Honda 600's hitting CONUS in late Jan 1970. And a number of them (all 1972
models) were sold as new cars in 1973 and even 1974. These cars did not fly
off the show room floor. Honda made there money on the N and Z 360. But
that is another story.

I think that is because they only sold the N600 and Z600s into
California, Oregon and Washington...
They are peppered throughout the US, but concentrated on the West coast.
