Hongqi CA770

Common card · No. 465275

The Hongqi CA770 is a limousine produced by FAW Hongqi as the successor to the Hongqi CA72. The CA770 remained in production from 1966 until 1981 albeit in limited numbers. Built on a platform derived from the Chrysler Imperial, around 1,600 of these V8-engined Hongqis were built in total (plus just shy of 300 of the short wheelbase CA773). Over the years, various additional versions were released, including a 1965 long-wheelbase model with three rows of seats and a 1969 armored version (CA772). A pickup truck version was also produced, with three built. A funeral hearse version was planned, but never produced. The 770 series was powered by a locally made 5.7-liter V8 engine, while the bodywork was penned in house by First Auto Works.
