This is pretty much a wild guess. Mercedes?

I have a 1/18 67 Vette that I need to build. I got it for my birthday when I was like 12. :rolf

Yes, windsor is correct. Built by the First Auto Works in Beijing only for high party officials to use. Here is a concept car they made a few years ago.

Pronounced Hong Chi, my model was made by a chinese company called Trumpeter who are more well known for high end military kits. The Hong Qi was their first auto kit, followed by, believe it or not, a 1960 Pontiac, a 63 Nova, and a 78 Monte Carlo. They will soon release a 1/12th scale kit of the Ford GT 40
