Honda’s American story started in 1959 with a small sales office in California. Today, Honda has 12 manufacturing plants, 21 R&D facilities, and more than 30,000 associates working across the U.S. – including the Midwest – designing, building, and supporting vehicles made for American drivers. At Bob Brady Honda in Decatur, IL, we’re proud to sell vehicles that are built close to home and made with pride.
Whether you’re cruising through central Illinois or navigating winter roads outside Decatur, your Honda was likely built by your fellow Americans using a blend of global and local materials. And that's something to feel proud of.
The first U.S.-built Honda Accord rolled off the line in 1982 in Marysville, Ohio. Since then, over 32 million vehicles and 38 million engines have been made in America. That includes customer favorites like:
Honda currently operates advanced production and powertrain plants in Ohio, Indiana, Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas, creating vehicles that are engineered for reliability and built for American lifestyles.

Here in Decatur, that means when you visit Bob Brady Honda, you’re buying a vehicle backed by a nationwide network of hardworking people and a decades-deep commitment to American craftsmanship.
Honda’s eye is firmly on the future. With over $1 billion invested in retooling plants in Ohio and a new $4.4 billion EV battery plant underway with LG Energy Solution, Honda is accelerating toward electric without slowing down production. These flexible manufacturing lines allow gas, hybrid, and electric models to be built on the same line, speeding up progress while cutting waste.
Vehicles like the Honda CR-V Hybrid and Accord Hybrid already bring efficient performance to Illinois drivers, and more electric options are on the way.
Honda isn’t just supporting drivers – it’s supporting athletes. As the Official Automotive Partner of Team USA and a Founding Partner of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Honda will provide a fleet of electrified vehicles, motorcycles, ATVs, and more to support the Games and their athletes.
From e-scooters and side-by-sides to hybrid models and marine engines, Honda’s full lineup will help move athletes and staff during the LA28 Games in Los Angeles and the 2026 Winter Games in Milano Cortina.
With deep roots in California and a track record of innovation, this partnership is another way Honda shows what “Made in America” really means – on the road and on the world stage.
