December 16, 2012 by Tycho de Feijter

A lazy Sunday afternoon in Beijing, outside it is so dark is actually seems night. Some say new snow is on the way. No weather to venture to far from home, especially when I can write about cars. This is a beautiful stretched limousine based on the Shanghai SH760A sedan.

A brilliant blue Shanghai SH760A, seen in the secret garage of the Sanhe Classic Car Museum in the great city of Chengdu. The Shanghai SH760A sedan, made in various forms by the Shanghai Auto Works, now SAIC, from 1974 until 1980 when it was replaced by the SH760B, which continued all da way until 1991 in basically the same shape as the SH760A.

One week ago I bought a new book, ‘Old Beijing’, a pictorial history of this great city where I live. On one of the pics in the book a taxi stand with two Shanghai SH760A’s on the right, both with the hood open. On the left two imported Datsuns.
