On October 1, 1959, the Hongqi parade car made its debut. Hongqi is an independent Chinese automotive brand. More information about Hongqi cars is as follows: History: The history of Hongqi cars began in 1958. On July 28, 1958, a Hongqi-branded truck and a 35-seat Hongqi-branded bus officially rolled off the production line at the Changchun Auto Parts Factory. On July 30, 1958, the Changchun Municipal Committee and the Changchun Municipal People's Committee held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Hongqi-branded cars. Hongqi cars have consistently served as the parade and ceremonial vehicles for the People's Republic of China. Significance: The name "Hongqi" (Red Flag) has far surpassed the meaning of just a car brand, as numerous historical events in New China are associated with "Hongqi."
