The Hongqi CA770 is a limousine produced by FAW Hongqi as the successor to the Hongqi CA72. First introduced in 1963, the CA770 model remained in production until 1981 albeit in limited numbers. Built on a platform based on the Chrysler Imperial, around 1,600 of these V8-engined Hongqis were built in total, and over the years various versions were released including a 1965 long-wheelbase model with three rows of seats and a 1969 armored version (CA772). A pickup truck version was also produced, with three built. A funeral hearse version was planned, but never produced.
