Parents can read its pride and be careful to be exposed by these five cars.

Looking back on the development of China automobile brands, although many brand models have been born since the founding of New China, we all know that the automobile market has been in the process of survival of the fittest, so those once sensational brands are hard to find in the streets now, but for young people born after 00 or even after 90, these may not have been heard of.

Dongfeng brand automobile

When it comes to Dongfeng brand cars, I'm afraid some people will mistake it for Dongfeng Motor Group. Actually, what I'm talking about here is the above model, not the car brand. As for this Dongfeng brand car, it was born in Changchun FAW Factory 1958, and then the factory director Rao Bin named the car "Dongfeng brand car", which means "Dongfeng overwhelms the west wind". The car was designed with reference to French "simca" and its engine was German "Mercedes-Benz 190"? (predecessor of Mercedes-Benz E-Class) is a prototype car, which is mainly imitated and designed independently. The whole vehicle has a beautiful and generous shape and a national style. The front of the car is inlaid with two Chinese characters "Dongfeng" and a golden dragon symbolizing China. Chairman Mao's words "China No.1 Automobile Factory" are engraved on both sides of the car, and the taillights are shaped as "Deng Gong", which further deepens the traditional cultural characteristics of China.

1958 may 2 1 day, chairman Mao watched and took Dongfeng motor in the back garden of Zhongnanhai, and said happily, "I took a car made by ourselves." As a result, Dongfeng Motor became the first self-developed car in China, which initiated the era of China automobile industry. Speaking of which, some people may ask, "shouldn't the first car be a red flag?" From the time point of view, Dongfeng brand car came out in May 1958, while Hongqi, which is located in the advanced car, was successfully trial-produced in August 1958, which was later than Dongfeng. It's easy to understand. But because it was the first time to make a car, the technology was not mature enough, and it often broke down, and finally it was forced to give up mass production.

Fenghuang brand automobile

In the same year when Dongfeng brand car and Hongqi brand car came out, Shanghai Automobile Assembly Plant (now the predecessor of SAIC) also successfully trial-produced the first car and named it "Phoenix", which achieved a "zero" breakthrough in the car manufacturing of Shanghai automobile industry. And "Phoenix" and the Dongfeng brand car mentioned above form a north-south echo, and the dragon and phoenix are auspicious.

1963,65438+February, this Phoenix brand car was officially renamed as "Shanghai brand SH760" car, with a 680Q engine produced by Shanghai Automobile Engine Factory, with a maximum power of 90 HP. At the same time, through the cooperation of many enterprises in Shanghai to carry out technical transformation and tackle key problems, the production technology and assembly are continuously improved, and a complete set of stamping dies are manufactured, ending the backward technology of relying on manual knocking for car bodies. In that year, this car completed the small batch production of 50 cars.

Saibeijian automobile

Speaking of Datong in Shanxi, I believe many people will think of "coal boss", which is not only rich in coal resources, but also an old industrial city. Although car-making enterprises did not have coal enterprises to make money, they were also the pride of Datong people at that time. Looking back at the Saibei Wrigley car independently developed by Datong Automobile Factory in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a slogan of "An arrow from Saibei is a new contribution to the times" at that time, and what's more, a lot of money was spent on publicity. It was advertised by CCTV: "The arrow of Saibei is difficult to travel around the world, showing the arrow of Saibei." However, it is a pity that it didn't last for a few years. The brand went out of business because of the low sales volume and the tightening of automobile production license management by the central government.

It is understood that Datong Automobile Factory is a self-owned brand automobile factory established by Datong City on 1959. At that time, this factory was designated as a light automobile factory by the state, with 5 series and 26 models. 65438-0998, Saibei Arrow products were selected by Saudi Arabian merchants and signed an agreement to sell 2,000 vehicles in three years. On August 25th, the first batch of 20 Saibei Arrow off-road vehicles sailed from Datong to tanggu port, Tianjin, where they were exported to Saudi Arabia. This is the first time in the history of automobile export in Shanxi Province.

Hongxing automobile

Note that what we are talking about here is not "Hongxing Erguotou" or "Hongxing Niulanshan Branch" in Degang Guo, but an out-and-out independent brand. The full name of Hongxing Automobile is Hebei Hongxing Station Wagon Factory, which was established in Beijing. 1960. Although it is two years younger than Dongfeng and Hongqi, Red Star Motor produced the first light station wagon in China on 1966, and also represented China in the West German Automobile Expo, which became famous in one fell swoop.

It is understood that when Toyota entered China, the first automobile manufacturer seeking cooperation was Hebei Hongxing Station wagon factory. It can be seen that Red Star has a rich product accumulation in the experience of building cars, and also has a profound historical and cultural heritage. However, with the increasing competition in the automobile market, Red Star has gradually declined. After being acquired by Shuanghuan in 2004, it was acquired by Hebei Multifluoduo Chemical Company, and its life was doomed. Fortunately, in 20 13, Red Star got the qualification of new energy production, and in June of 20 18, the brand-new Red Star Shining X2 model went on the market with a subsidy price of 49,800-63,800 yuan, which has a price advantage in the domestic mini new energy vehicle market.

Tianjin Dafa

Speaking of Tianjin Dafa, I believe that all the students born after 1990 may have seen it, but I am afraid they have all seen it on TV or online after 00. "Make a fortune, buy a fortune, make a fortune!" This is an advertisement broadcast by Tianjin Dafa on CCTV in the late 1980s. At that time, this car was mostly used in the taxi industry because of its economical price and spacious space. According to online statistics, by the end of 1999, Tianjin Automobile Factory had produced 300,000 Dafa cars, 90% of which were used for taxis.

If you know anything about the Spring Festival Gala, you must have seen the series "Learning Art in Lausanne" in Lausanne, which mentioned that "no money can only be face to face", and this "face" was the yellow Tianjin Dafa of Beijing Taxi Company at that time. However, with the implementation of emergency measures to control air pollution in Beijing, on February 23rd, 1998+65438, thousands of "surface" vehicles in Beijing were invited to Shougang's cupola. Since then, this cool little yellow car has gradually disappeared from people's sight.

Write to the end:

In the history of making cars in China, although I only counted five models today, and the information is still very limited, in my opinion, all these models have one thing in common, that is, the pride of making cars in China, whether it is the first car in China, the "East Wind" that Datong people are proud of, or the classic "face" of the taxi industry, which are indelible memories of a generation.
