Tracing its roots back to 1920 as the Toyo Cork Kogyo company, Mazda famously started out manufacturing cork before pivoting to automotive engineering. Though the corporate name Toyo Kogyo wasn't officially retired until 1984, every passenger vehicle produced since the 1960 debut of the R360 microcar proudly bore the Mazda nameplate. This curated archive of original print advertisements celebrates a century of unconventional design.
