Empire Motor is a wholesaler of auto parts and car accessories.

Sales items in around 1976 of the Empire Motor varied from small fuses to big car air conditioners, about 80,000 items in all. They were sold to 3,000 local distributors and car shops located from Hokkaido to Okinawa through our 32 sales network.
