Faw Dongfanghong BJ760
The Dongfanghong BJ760 (Chinese: 东方红) is an executive sedan produced by BAW. Development started as a licensed copy of the GAZ-21 Volga with assistance from the Soviets sharing chassis units, drawings and blueprints for reference, and was produced from 1960 to 1969 with a total of 238 units produced. It replaced the Jinggangshan sedan by BAW. During development, the car was named Xinghuo 76 (Spark 76), but was later changed to Dongfanghong for the production version. The name Dongfanghong means "The East is Red" and refers to a patriotic song of the Chinese Communist Party. The name has been used by multiple companies for branding and product names. Five years after the discontinuation of the BJ760, BAW presented the Beijing BJ750 in 1974, a contemporary successor, of which only a few were produced.
