The Hongqi CA72 was the first production automobile of FAW Hongqi and the first representative sedan constructed and built in China. It was produced from 1959 until 1965 and was available only to state institutions and the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, and it was regularly used at public events into the 1970s. Details of its technology and production are unclear, but reportedly 202 were built before the modernized CA770 replaced it. It was developed by First Automotive Works in Changchun, founded in 1953 with Soviet technical and financial support, at the time of the Great Leap Forward, when Chinese plants began building passenger cars based largely on imported Western models.
