Abstract

This chapter, “Park’s Engineering of a South Korean Auto Industry: Beginnings to 1979,” chronicles the emergence of the Korean auto industry from its beginnings to 1979. It opens with a brief review of the industry’s embryonic phase up until the Rhee Regime (1948–1960). This is followed by two sections that discuss the Park Government’s forging of the foundation for a domestic automobile industry (1961–1967) and subsequent weaning of its native automakers (1967–1972). The essay next examines Korea’s development of a gukmincha (“People’s Car”) under the direction of Park’s Heavy and Chemical Industrial Drive or HCI Plan (1973–1979). It then closes with a summary of the rise of the Korean auto industry under Park. This chapter also provides some concluding thoughts regarding the development context at the end of Park’s reign in 1979.
