I thought I knew a little about xiamen's large and small museums, but I didn't expect to be refreshed today. Warm sunshine in winter, good Young in Xiamen. There is a Yuecheng classic car museum in Xiamen Dadeng Town, and it is also the first museum in South China to feature classic cars. The most cattle is the museum's collection of more than 1,000 pieces, involving 40+ car brands, which was founded by Mr. Chen Yu, an antique car collector in Xiamen, at a cost of tens of millions.
Let's take a look. The first to enter the museum is the hongqi CA770, the treasure of the town hall, a three-row high-speed car successfully developed by The First Automobile Factory in Changchun, China at the end of 1965, which is not only the same car as Marshal Ye Jianying, but also proves that Chinese has the ambition and ability to independently design a high-class high-end car.
In the museum, we can also see many of the earliest brands of cars, such as Mercedes-Benz I and Daimler I. Above is Daimler One, born in Germany in 1886 and the first four-wheeled car. At that time, the car looked like a carriage, but it was already taking shape.
The next car is difficult not to pay attention to, its two spare tires are on the body. And this is the classic car that Peng Yuyan drove in "The First Incense", is it a surprise? Before, I only knew that most of the scenes in the play were filmed in Gulangyu Island, but I didn't expect the car to come from here.
The car, the Chevrolet Independence AE, pioneered the load-bearing body, with its larger body size and more attractive design, combining comfort, handling and roadblocking and cargo carrying capacity.
The Chevrolet Suburban Carryall is the first model to combine a truck chassis with a station wagon look, combining comfort, handling with the ability to drive bad roads and carry cargo. With the birth of The Suburban Carryall, a new model has been added to the world's automotive industry - the SUV, so it is known as the "originator of contemporary SUVs".
However, with Yuecheng Classic Car Museum to borrow luxury cars, not only Peng Yuyan, but also Shen Teng. In another movie that was filmed in Xiamen, "The Richest Man in Xihong", Shen Teng drove this Porsche 356 classic car, which is the world's first Porsche.
When Wang Duoyu, played by Shen Teng, chased the heroine Xia Zhu on the roundabout road, the classic car he drove was the Daimler V8 250, which can also be seen in the museum. In the 1960s, Jaguar acquired Daimler's business, and the V8 250 was the first Daimler sedan based on the Jaguar platform.
In 1893, the Englishman Frederick Sims purchased the daimler engine patent and trademark and brand use rights, making Daimler a British brand, and in the same year established Daimler Automobile GmbH. The original Daimler brand was changed to Mercedes. In 1896, Daimler Automobiles began to produce cars of its own design, which became the administrative cars of the British government and the royal royal car.
To say the most unexpected thing is that I did not expect to see this red tractor in the Yuecheng Classic Car Museum. On July 20, 1958, the first Dongfanghong tractor was officially born. As the starting point of China's tractor industry, the era of Chinese people's arable land without cattle has begun.
Dongfanghong tractor is also a representative symbol of Chinese manufacturing, in the 1960 edition of the third set of renminbi, Dongfanghong tractor and the first female tractor driver in New China, together became a household name for the one-dollar banknote pattern. At the same time, I feel very proud of today's rapid development of the motherland.
