Encyclopedia
The Shanghai SH760 is a car produced in China
from 1958 to 1991. It was primarily produced for government officials not important enough to warrant a FAW Hong Qi

The Shanghai Automobile Assembly line produced their first car on 28 September 1958, called FengHuang "Phoenix". This was also the first production car produced in China. Only very few Phoenix Sedans where produced between then and 1960.
In 1964, the Phoenix changed its name to Shanghai SH760, and by 1965 was in full production. In 1968 and 1974, the SH760 underwent a series of cosmetic updates (SH760A and SH760B respectively). The final SH760 was produced on 25 November 1991, after a total production run of 79,526 cars. Production peaked in 1984 at around 6,000 units.
The SH760 was powered by a 2.2 litre straight six engine coupled with a 4-speed manual gearbox.
