The Yuejin CN750 was a passenger car that Nanjing Auto showed at a vehicle exhibition in September 1958, during the Great Leap Forward. It was a fairly accurate copy of the Soviet GAZ M20 Pobeda. The company built only one or two examples for testing and the car never reached series production, so it stays a prototype and not a production model. It was the maker's first try at a passenger car, and Nanjing Auto did not return to the passenger car business until the late 1990s, when a joint venture assembled the first generation SEAT Ibiza. The engine for the CN750 was a Nanjing copy of the Pobeda engine, the Yuejin CN050, which Nanjing went on supplying for other projects such as the first Shanghai made Fenghuang prototype. The CarNewsChina account found no pictures of the car.
