About China's Coolest Cars
A Hongqi CA7220E sedan, seen in central Beijing in 2011. The good Hongqi was very dusty but in a fine overall shape. It still had the red flag hood ornament and the original 5-spoke sporty wheels.

A Cadillac CTS sedan, seen in 2013 in the great city of Shanghai by Friend of the Site San-Ano, thank you for the pictures! The good Cadillac is wrapped in a matte orange wrap and further dressed up with darkened rear windows. The front is full with dust and dirt, as if she had made a long ride earlier on.

A brilliant Mercedes-Benz 300b Limousine, seen in Beijing back in 2013 on the parking lot of my apartment building near Dongzhimen in central Beijing. The big Mercedes was in a fantastic shape, painted in an original red shade, a fitting color for China. The chrome and wheels looked great too.

An SUV so big your entire family can sit on the corners of the front bumper; that must be the Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum, and indeed it is. I met this big American land boat at an unofficial Cadillac repair shop in Beijing in 2020.

A second generation Toyota Zelas, seen in north Beijing in December 2019. The good Toyota was a bit dirty, but basically every car is dirty in the Beijing winter, when roads are covered with a dusty kind of snowy mud.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom super luxury car, seen in the Lido area in Beijing in 2016. The giant Roller was painted in black with a dark silver grille, a red-orange stripe on the side, and a totally red leather interior.
Note the Element Fresh restaurant in the background. They had a small restaurant chain, hugely popular in the mid- and late 2000’s, with ‘healthy’ sandwiches and such more nonsense. They filed for bankruptcy in late 2021. Too bad for the owners but I won’t miss them for a minute. Gimme pizza!
