the limo seems like a presidential car

The Limo is the CA-7460 Qijian, a reworked version of the Lincoln Town Car.

The Lincoln version here in the US is used primarily as an executive or livery taxi or as a limousine when stretched like that. You see them all over New York.

One of my cars - my Ford Crown Victoria - is made on the same platform and uses the same SOHC V8 engine. It's a very dated car by American standards, the basic package having been introduced in 1979 - but it's still a decent ride.

Is that limo going into production?

It has been in production for 15 years in the USA - it is a lincoln town car.

I meant the Red Flag one. A client called and told me he wanted it.

This is what I found about 1958 Hongqi CA770, the first national China car:
The National Car referred to the car that is 100% produced in China. The National Car of China was initiated from a National Development Plan for the first 5 years in 1950-1955. China set a scheme to produce its own car and had every part made in the country. In 1956, busses were firstly created and later on, they began to create saloon car and met with a success in 1958. The Honqgi (“red flag” in Chinese) model CA770 was a mixture between cars of the free world and cars of the communist which are the United State’s Chrysler Imperial and Soviet’s ZIL car.

“CA770” was mode’s name of “Red Flag”. The meanings are as follows:
“C” refers to China
“A” refers to FAW (First Automobile Works). It was the name of the factory of the car.
The first “7” is a code number of the car.
The Second “7” means 7 seats
“0” is a kind of car (Limo)

CA700 used eight pistons engine sized 5700CC in order to have a 220 horse powers by using automatic gear of two speeds. The weight of the car was 2.5 tons. This model had been used as an official car for the leader of China and for many leaders of foreign countries who came to visit China.

In 1965 The Prime Minister of China, Joe En Lai denied the request of President Nixon who would bring his own car during his first visit China. He told Nixon not to worry. He welcomed Nixon with the best car in the world that built by China itself. It was this Hongqi CA770.

The President Mow Ze Tung, the leader during that period had used this model as his positional car, including welcoming various leaders such as Stalin of Soviet. This car was used by the leader of China for a long time since 1958-1983. The last Honqgi CA770 was produced in 1983.

Some other interesting Hongqi limousines.

Hongqi CA 770 TJ High Class Reviewing Car.
To make a Hongqi CA 770 TJ high class reviewing car was the "No.1 task " for FAW in 1983. The car roof is a decklid type. General secretary Hu Yaobang, of the Chinese Communist Party, and Yang Shangkun watched at the car, which was under trial production in May 1984. They instructed that the car must be in good quality. It is on this car that Deng Xiaoping reviewed the PLA troops at Tiananmen Square on 35 annviersary of founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1st 1984, made a historic scene in the world. On november 3rd the same year, Qin Jiwei - general commander of the reviewing troops signed a citation and commendatory letter to FAW for its great contribution on the National Day reviewing.

Interesting pictures. I didn't know that Hong Qi made so many different cars.

"In 1965 The Prime Minister of China, Joe En Lai denied the request of President Nixon who would bring his own car during his first visit China. He told Nixon not to worry. He welcomed Nixon with the best car in the world that built by China itself. It was this Hongqi CA770."
In 1965, the president of the USA was Lyndon Johnson. Richard Nixon was elected in 1968 and he went to China in 1972.

The President Mow Ze Tung, the leader during that period had used this model as his positional car, including welcoming various leaders such as Stalin of Soviet. This car was used by the leader of China for a long time since 1958-1983. The last Honqgi CA770 was produced in 1983."
Iossif Vissarionovitch Djougachvili aka Joseph Staline died in 1953. So, he couldn't have seated in a Hong Qi! I guess you mean Nikita Sergueievitch Khroutchev who became the leader of USSR after his death.

:confused: ;) :rolleyes: :mad:

Red Flag CA7560
http://digilander.libero.it/cuoccimix/hongqi4.jpg

Looks like Russian ZIL. Apparently it was the last variant of the CA770.

This is one of the three prototypes named CA770D, developed as a repacement for the CA770, in 1987-1988. None of these cars were taken into production. A copy of the second and one of the third prototype are conserved in the FAW 'Warehouse' collection in Changchun. See my book: "Hongqi, the history of a Chinese limousine", http://www.chinesecars.net/index.php?page=4
