A very clean Hongqi Mingshi CA7180A3E, seen in southwest Beijing on a summer’s day. The Red Flag sedan was in a perfect shape; the paint looked as new, chrome as shiny as the sun, and the wheels are period original.

This is one of my favorite cars ever: the massive Hongqi Qijian CA7460 sedan, seen here at the Poly Theater in central Beijing. The Hongqi was in super shape, totally clean and largely original.

An incredible clean Mercedes-Benz CL-class coupe, seen on a parking lot in central Beijing, capital of China. The good Benz was in superb condition, painted in silver and standing on five-spoke AMG alloys.

A perfect R129 Mercedes-Benz SL500, painted green, and with the hardtop on. The great German roadster was a bit dusty, but otherwise in perfect shape.
A nice blue Skoda Felicia LX Combi, seen at the Beijing Agricultural Exhibition Center in China. The good Skoda was dirty and dusty, but otherwise in a fine shape.
A fine red FSO Polonez 1.6 GLE, seen on the premises of the Beijing Classic Car Museum.The good Polonez was in a great shape, and at the time it was still used as a daily driver.

A blue Mazda 323 sedan, seen on a field in the far north of Beijing. The good Mazda was sadly in a rather bad shape, and appeared to be abandoned.
