do you mean, asking me to state that this car is known as "China's First car"?
It was born in 1958 on the special request of Mao Zedong, who demanded a Chinese state limousine.

No, I don't mean the Dongfeng CA-71 in general, but the pictured car.

Well, not that it was part of the original question, but the original Dongfeng had black wall tires. I am guessing that this may be much more recent replica based on the Russian GAZ-21 Volga car.

Yes, it is a replica, but on another base. Still locked.

Yes, whatever made the people at Taishan Classic Car Museum think an Opel Rekord P2 would be the right base to build a Dongfeng CA-71 replica. The real Dongfeng CA-71 was rather a mixture of Mercedes-Benz influences for the drivetrain and Simca Vedette styling for the bodywork.
