At the Exhibition Hall of the History of the Communist Party of China
The collection of the first new China
Self-developed high-end sedan
"Hongqi" brand car
In 1959
When it appeared at the National Day military parade
It has not only become a banner for China's automotive industry
It has also become deeply imprinted since then
Generation after generation Chinese symbols in memory
Be aware
Seventy years after the birth of the world's first car
China has only just begun to build its own cars
In 1956
Chairman Mao Zedong sighed when he visited the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant
"When will we be able to get in our own car?"
then
The mainland automotive industry is just getting started
Although it has produced "liberation" trucks and "Dongfeng" cars
But making a premium sedan still faces great challenges
The First Ministry of Machinery Industry was officially given to the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant
The task of producing cars was given
Compared with the "Dongfeng" sedan
This time, the inside of the car is soundproofed, shockproof and sealed
And the engine and so on put forward higher requirements
However, there are no drawings, no information
Only one month
Faced with many difficulties
Engineers and technical workers at FAW
How can I complete the task?
"Since there is no drawing, do it"
Factory director Rao Bin made up his mind secretly
It's the height of summer
The central avenue of the First Automobile Factory is bustling with activity
Rao Bin used Chrysler made in the United States to make a template
Put out the car parts and drawings one by one
It's like "catching a temple fair"
Let the brave employees claim it by themselves
The person who claimed it went to the headquarters and issued a "military order"
Agree on a finish date
Resting responsibility is borne by yourself
It is quite similar to the "unveiling of the commander" used in today's scientific research
In just a few hours
More than 3,000 sheets of hand-drawn paper and parts
It was snatched up
thereafter
After 33 days and nights of fighting
August 1958
China's first "Hongqi" brand high-end car was successfully developed
This "Hongqi" brand sedan has a maximum power of 200 horsepower
The top speed reached 185 km/h
Its birth
Ended the new China
The history of not being able to develop premium cars on its own
