CHINESE BUILD WEDDING CAR (Jan, 1929)

CHINESE BUILD WEDDING CAR
IN CHINA no marriage is considered to have been fittingly solemnized until the bride and groom have ridden at the head of the wedding procession in an automobile similar to the one shown below. The special “gingerbread” body, decorated with gold leaf and hanging tinsel, represents an investment of about $5,000.

    I fear that it wouldn’t have survived the Cultural Revolution. The Red Guards would have considered it a sign of decadent Western capitalism and smashed it.
