From where it comes, I doubt it  ;)

I think it may well be a FAW Hongqi (Hong Qi) parade cabriolet.

That's interesting. I thought I know all the models and versions of HongQi quite well, yet i've never seen this particular cabriolet. Especially the front end doesn't look hongqi-ish at all...  ??? What's the model designation?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I would have expected a well visible red-flag hood ornament... (HongQi = Red Flag)...

I hadn't seen this car before coming across it on the 'net either. There were several curious and unique prototypes in China during the 1970s and I guess this may be part of that body of work. That's all the info I have on it I'm afraid.

It looks, to me, like a 1964 Chevy that made it halfway through the car crusher.   ;D

Here's the only photo I've had before. The car was not a prototype and was used, as one can see.

I'm just not convinced it's a Hong Qi, that's all. But who knows what else lurks in the vast depths of history of chinese representative vehicles...

The 'Commodores' on their eastern tour ca. 1975?

Sorry Quiller et al, but according to at least four independant book sources this car is NOT a Hong Qi prototype! 

It is a 1968 Shanghai SH-761, of which a handful were built from the late 1960s until the early 1980s.  My scanner is currently kaput, but once it's working again I will scan the same image that you first used, with supporting text all stating that it is a Shanghia SH-761 from two French publications, plus one German and one Italian.  Sorry!!
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

That's interesting. I also have seen it in different places, and it was called Hong Qi, althoug no model name was specified...

Hmmm. I have my reasons for believing this is not a Shanghai SH-761 but I will let the debate roll.
