Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Hongqi CA72" in Portuguese language version.
Meant for party officials, the Hongqi was styled after the Russian GAZ 21 Volga sedan, which itself was styled after the Ford Mainline of the early 1950s. It was an interesting journey when it comes to design, but at the end is a clearly American influence. Hongqi scaled up the GAZ 21 proportions to the size of a four-door limo, whose profile was reminiscent of a ZiL 111.
