China's first imported vehicles which the city? Shanghai.

In 1901, when a named Eun (Leinz) of the Hungarian people two Ford Motor Company produced "Oldsmobile" brand cars shipped from Hong Kong to Shanghai. Automotive was born 16 years later, finally onto the land of China.

This two Oldsmobile Jie Wei black wooden body, wooden wheel is the outside package with solid rubber tires, is also equipped with kerosene lamps and hand-pinch speaker, the two vehicles is also specially fitted with roof, exterior and carriage very similar. 1 is a folding soft-top caravan, one is a cool shed-style roof, the front driver's single-seat, rear double guest, where a witness whom the people are all scared. For a time, this will be issued by a huge roar, gain on carriage of the machine faster, "carriage" shocked at the beach.

Because there is no precedent, the Shanghai Municipal Council meeting on how to Lee Eun-specially when the car issue licenses, January 30, 1902, the Shanghai Municipal Council meeting when the decision to Lee Eun-car issue a temporary license permit on it Street, the monthly coach class in accordance with taxation, tax gold and two silver. The second half and Industry Bureau has added the car's license special projects, and developed the first Chinese automobile traffic laws.
After Shanghai's auto market also booming up.

Shanghai 1903, only five cars in 1908 increased to 119 in 1912 jumped to 1400. Thus continue to widen roads and extend. Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Chevrolet, etc., so that the people of Shanghai to see dazzled, the Waiting List to get rich first itch of the heart. However, by a vote Daihatsu cars are foreign tramp living by begging.

In 1912, Nanjing Road opened a "Longfei automobile firms." In the following 30 years, Shanghai has appeared in 18 car companies and Matheson, in which American "Chinese", "Madi", "US-pass", "Huck Health" and the British companies, "Li Wei Matheson", etc. 7 , monopolize the vast majority of the automotive market. This 18 companies a total of 197 kinds of distribution models of cars, but many are the new name of the "cloning vehicle." Such as "Dodge" and "law firm" delivery vehicle, the internal device is almost no different. Light "Madi", "Huck Health", "Chinese" Big Three, it earned 72.08 million taels of gold.

Daihatsu Motor Finance in Shanghai, in fact most of them abroad Hunbuxiaqu some of the speculators. They first arrived in Shanghai, carry only a broken bag, which put a few samples of this car, semi-deception and a half made their fortunes in land sales, but also by opening of the Matheson, while on the boss.

Take "Mady," owner Mark Love ear Madi, the 1922 first came to Shanghai is a typical poor tramp living by begging. He wore an old suit, dragging pairs of broken shoes, ganging up on the Chinese comprador, in the Sichuan road ride a plank house, hung a "muddy Motor Company" signs.

Mady known as holders of the United States, "Kressler," Motor Company's distribution rights, in fact that the capital has not even have a union can not afford to hire his own wife have all been pulled in the past as a typist. However, not long after, he became the upstart by fictitious means. By 1935, the original wooden huts has been extended for two large vehicles look like, the two Xiuli Bu, and a the office and a staff of more than 80 people.

Another example is "China" boss Philip door, he is a Jew, originally in the United States a small tailor's, the latter unable to live there because, in 1918 with a broken suitcase to Shanghai to make a living. 6 rickshaw to do business from the rental start, and gradually made their fortunes in the Chinese businessmen in China rickshaw to buy all of the company's site down, hang up the "China Motor Corporation," to turn the shotgun for the gun.

After World War II, Shanghai's auto market to be unprecedented development. The Kuomintang reactionaries, "rob the close high-ranking officials" were made after a one-one-vote to be the "cars", then line up to register a car. Some foreign car companies to deposit received in advance 500 dollars a person. And then an excuse to stall for time, no later delivery. Therefore, until the eve of the liberation, as well as on the 100 clients are still not paid a deposit to take to the car.

The corp boss, among the tilt-orbit is also very powerful. In 1949, 18 companies were all American are annexed.

Old Shanghai automobile firms focused on Bubbling Well Road (now Nanjing West Road), and Ai-Wen Yi Road (now Beijing West Road) on. After all, the old site of the new century is still owned by a high-end cars. Now, Nanjing West Road near the place where Huangpi home, "Mercedes Benz" exhibition hall, opposite the "Ferrari", across the street there are several Bentley, the most incredible is the recent Shimen way quietly out of the Spyker Monopoly shop. Think about it, the car dealer was originally chasing with the advance of history.

Sixties and seventies of last century in the United States and the open countryside straight on the highway more and more mechanical monster, they are fierce and muscular appearance, sound, mad-noise high-powered, so the image is also known as "Muscle
Car (muscle car). "

Muscle cars are no longer the brilliant, but the car enthusiast there are still many people in those days an infinite fascination. May be eager to reproduce the past, peace and prosperity, several major U.S. brand in recent years, the introduction of retro cars are also active. The most obvious example is the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger The return of the troika.

Speaking of Chevrolet Camaro, first thought is that in the movie "Transformers" in a hornet always in the limelight. In order to beat the Ford Mustang sales in North America, the creation of the myth, GM decided to launch a price of tit for tat style, lightweight sports car, so they came into being Camaro. In 1965, the R & D, code-named "Leopard," a small sports car program was officially launched, but this plan did not start smoothly, until June 28, 1966, the Chevrolet abruptly announced revised plans new sports car, and use "Camaro "instead of" Leopard "code name.

1967

As for the "Camaro" in the end mean? Is said - is a special horse to eat of the ferocious little beasts.

September 12, 1966, the first-generation Chevrolet Camaro sample car debut in Los Angeles, September 29, 1967 shall Camaro into the North American market. The car used rear-drive architecture with the Pontiac
Firebird (Pontiac Firebird) share a common F platform.

In order to beat the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet introduced a variety of power series of exaggerated large displacement models, the first-generation Camaro could be equipped with a variety of V6 and V8 engines, displacement from 4.9L to 7.0L, bent on an attempt to build the field of low-cost sports car a new high-performance market segments.

This meet consumer demand in North America at that time the practice is not wise, or even speed up the direct cause of the decline of the U.S. cars. In improving the process, the first-generation Camaro lightweight body structure has been unable to withstand the weight of high-performance engine, torque, and then in 1969, the first-generation Chevrolet camaro was discontinued.

1969

Second-generation Camaro's biggest improvements is the increase in body strength, while weight also increased significantly, and power in particular is an astonishing increase of 7.4 liters V8 engine, and this be recorded in the Camaro no longer a family history of being broken, crazy The U.S. engine after the oil crisis era gone forever.

With the Mustang's position gradually became more distinguished from the second generation Camaro, quickly gained market recognition, since listing in February 1970 put into operation, the second-generation Camaro's life cycle as long as 11 years.

Meanwhile, in order with the same period to confront the Japanese sports car, power powerful supercharged engine, also appeared in the third-generation Camaro's configuration list.

1984

The third generation camaro has also produced a 11-year period before and after, until it was formally discontinued in 1992, during which, Chevrolet in 1987 and 1992, respectively, introduced the "20th Anniversary Edition" and "25th Anniversary Heritage Edition", to meet the car Camaro fans to commemorate the legendary demand.

1988

Put into operation in 1993, the fourth-generation Camaro body, that people have not seen the previous three generations of models of classic design elements, but there are still many traditions have been preserved, such as large displacement V8 engine, rear wheel drive structure, 2 and 2 + 2 seat layout and so on.

1999

However, God left the United States car on him, and did not extend longer. From 1993 to 2002, 11-year period, Camaro family ushered in an unprecedented challenges. In fact, this crisis is not only a Camaro is Chevrolet, General Motors, U.S. car crisis. As in Europe, the rapid expansion of Japanese sports car, Camaro's price advantage narrowing, and finally, the fourth generation camaro was overshadowed by the frustration in the cut-off.

2001

Nevertheless, Camaro fans are still eagerly anticipating its return. Finally, the fourth-generation cut-off four years after the official exhibition of the retro Chevrolet Camaro concept of the first generation of a new concept car, and on August 10 formally announced the fifth-generation Camaro's production plan.

This model used a newly developed Zeta rear-wheel drive platform, and each will be equipped 300-horsepower 3.6L
V6 engine, 422 hp 6.2L V8 engine and a 400 hp 6.2L
V8 engine. By the "Transformers" shocked the world an opportunity, a new generation Camaro popularity soared, at present, the fifth-generation Camaro has been fully put in the North American market, the future it will be possible by the introduction of Shanghai GM sales, becoming the first Camaro family car sold in China type.

Can not be denied, as the American car culture enrichment, no matter what age stood watching, Camaro and Mustang models like the rich are appealing and worthy of collection of. Of course, in today, they may actually be more appropriate for collection.
