Basic introduction:

In response to the instructions of the superior to develop all kinds of cars, FAW trial-produced Dongfeng CA7 1 car based on the principle of "imitation first, independent design", ending the history that China could not manufacture cars. The chassis and body of this car are modeled after Vedetee in Sinca, France. Equipped with engines from Mercedes-Benz models, the body shape is designed independently. In order to concentrate resources on producing Hongqi cars, Dongfeng CA7 1 produced more than 30 cars and then stopped production. As the first attempt to design a car independently, it has accumulated experience for future development.
