Dongfeng nameplate given new life

First and only car made more than 50 years ago

More than half a century since its production stopped after making a single vehicle, the marque of the first car ever made in China will again be on the road when Dongfeng Motor Corp revives its namesake.

Sources at Dongfeng, based in Central China's Hubei province, told local media that a new model with the working name Dongfeng-1 is under development, with the first concept model expected to make a world premier at the 2013 Shanghai auto show.
