Hongqi CA72

China 1965

Hongqi CA72 is the first truly premium car in the history of New China. As a tribute to the motherland on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the founding of People’s Republic of China, the First Auto Work (FAW) produced only 10 cars in that year. All the vehicles except for individual castings were almost entirely handmade. Hongqi CA72 was not suspended until 1963, where the total production unit was 202. The Hongqi CA72 premium sedan is a symbol and milestone of China’s auto industry. The car has also been included in the “World Automobile Yearbook”. “Hongqi” faithfully records the history of the development of China’s national sedan industry. And it contains the youth of several generations of entrepreneurs.

In 2018, Hongqi CA72 won the “Chairman Trophy” in the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, which is known as the “Oscar” of the global classic car. This is the competition since 1951. Since its inception in 2014, Chinese classic car has set foot on the world stage and won awards for the first time.
