First Auto Works (FAW) is one of the four largest state-owned automotive companies in China. It was founded in 1953 and launched its first car, the Hongqi (Red Flag), in 1958. One of its subsidiaries, FAW Tianjin, started producing cars in 1965. From November 1984 it started producing Daihatsu cars in license, starting with the Hijet, but followed by the Charade in 1986. This car, the Xiali (夏利) would become one of the most successful cars in China in the nineties and can be considered an icon for the Chinese automotive industry.
The same designation is true for Hongqi, the brand originally intended for high-ranking officials. The Hongqi CA72 was based on a 1955 Chrysler/Imperial. It was followed by the CA770-series in 1963. In 1988 FAW started producing the Audi 100 under its own name, the CA7180/CA7200/CA7220-series. Versions continued to be produced until 2006. Its current line-up consists of the ultra luxurious L5/L7/L9-series, the H7 and all new H5 sedan.

The inland Florida Everglades is known as the "River of Grass".
These boats fly through the grasses with ease. At times the only
thing visible is their high red/orange flag over the tall saw-grass...

******************************************************************************
An airboat, also known as a fanboat, is a flat-bottomed vessel
(jon boat) propelled in a forward direction by an aircraft-type propeller and powered by either an aircraft or automotive engine. Airboats are a very popular means of transportation in the Florida Everglades, parts of the Indian River Lagoon, the Kissimmee and St. Johns Rivers, as well as Louisiana Bayous, where they are used for fishing, bowfishing, hunting, and eco-tourism, and in other marshy and/or shallow areas where a standard inboard or outboard engine with a submerged propeller would be impractical.
