The Hyundai Motor Company is one if not the most dynamic automobile producer in any developing country. This is remarkable considering that the company is closing in on 40 years of existence. To outline its history one must also look into the life and times of its founder Chung Ju-Yung. It cannot be told without the outlining the founders rise from the rice fields of Korea to the circumstances that let him to acquire the knowledge and determination that led to the creation of one of the fastest growing family owned businesses into a global competitor. His creation of numerous companies eventually let to the establishment of the Hyundai Group. The Hyundai Motor Company was one of these. He created it and transformed it from a mere assembler of Ford models to a designer and exporter of its own cars and engines in less than four decades. It has already become a major global player with plants and dealerships that span six continents. The company is one of the largest and most diversified business organizations with 45 affiliated domestic companies and 254 overseas companies in nearly 200 countries. The Hyundai Motor Company is but one which the Group is active in such as shipbuilding, steel, petrochemicals, heavy machinery, aerospace, electronics and financial services. These pages therefore outlines not only the rich and unique History of the Hyundai Motor Company but also the remarkable years beforehand that led to its creation, the eventual breakup of the Group and its continuous development into a top ten global automaker.

  • This Is Chuck Nichols with the National Museum of the Pacific War, April, 2003
    ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW WILLIAM COFFEY U. S. NAVY This is Chuck Nichols with the National Museum of the Pacific War, April, 2003. I’m sitting in the conference room of the National Museum of the Pacific War with William Coffey who was a submariner during World War II and I’m going to talk to him about his experiences. Mr. Coffey, will you tell us when and where you were born, please? MR. COFFEY: I was born in Hopkins County Texas on the 16th of October, 1919. MR. NICHOLS: And you had brothers and sisters? MR. COFFEY: My parents were John S. and Vivian Coffey. I was the ninth of ten children. I was born on a farm two and a half miles west of Sulphur Springs in Hopkins County. MR. NICHOLS: Did you go to school in Sulphur Springs? MR. COFFEY: I went to school in Sulphur Springs and in those days to get to ride the school bus to school, you had to live five miles from town. We only lived two and a half miles from town, so the school bus would pass us every day as we trudged down the road to school. In those days, there were only eleven grades in Texas, so I went from the first through the 11th grade up that highway to Sulphur Springs. MR. NICHOLS: Did they have all grades in the same building?

The seventh grade was in a building by itself, and then eight, nine, ten and eleven were the high school which was in one building.
