Shanghai SH761 Convertible 1970
Unique exhibit - Shanghai Convertible (1970) made only two copies to meet foreign guests. Backseat raised himself with means of hydraulic cylinders.
The Shanghai SH761 was a gigantic hand-made machine. It was based on the platform of the much smaller Shanghai SH760A sedan. The engine came from the SH760A too, a very old 2.2 liter six-cylinder with 90 horsepower. Weight was about two ton and fuel consumption about 13 liter per 100 kilometer. Shanghai Auto claimed a 100km/h top speed but during parades the car wouldn’t go any faster than five.
