The Shanghai SH760 is a car produced in China from 1965 to 1991[1] primarily for government officials not important enough to warrant a FAW Hongqi[4] and as a taxi.[5] The design was based on the Mercedes-Benz 220S (W180) from 1954,[6][7] with modified front and rear styling to resemble an American Packard of the same era such as the Patrician 1955 model.[8]
Originally built by the Shanghai City Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing Company, this became STAC (Shanghai Tractor and Automobile Corporation) in April 1969. The company changed its name to SATIC (Shanghai Automobile and Tractor Industry Corporation) in the mid-1980s and became SAIC in 1990.[9]
Unlike Beijing-controlled FAW and SAW (now Dongfeng Motor), STAC was owned directly by the city of Shanghai.[8]
