About China's Coolest Cars
A Toyota Cressida sedan, seen on a car market in the far north of Beijing in 2019. The Toyota stood alone parked partially in some bushes and it didn’t have license plates on. Happily, it was generally in a good shape but clearly in need of a bit of work and love.

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 Volkswagen Santana 2000 police car, seen at a police show in 2011. I always loved to go to police equipment shows in China to check out new police cars. I went there just for fun, but there were also real coppers shopping for new wheels. Naturally, they arrived with their own police cars, like this Volkswagen Santana 2000.

A nicely modified Ford Focus, seen in 2011 in the great city of Nanjing in Jiangsu Province in China. The Focus had a completely new front bumper, very wide and sporty, white wheels, darkened windows, and lots of racy decals.
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 Volkswagen Golf GTI Cabriolet, painted in a pretty shade of red with a black convertible roof. It was a brand new car, freshly arrived from Germany. I saw it in 2013 on a small parking lot next to the Liangma River in central Beijing, not far from Volkswagen’s China headquarters. The place was often used by Volkswagen for parking press cars and sometimes even test cars.

A left-hand-drive Toyota Mark II was Seen in Hohhot, China in 2018. It’s not an American-imported Toyota Cressida but a original Japanese Mark II(X80). The car is now missing and the original plate is seen on a Mercedes-Benz GLS. I processed the plate.
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.
