Old Cars of Cuba Yes, we have an old cars page!
Because...so many people have asked about them.
Havana was a city filled with cars at the time of the Revolution in the late 1950s -- it was the city with the second highest number of American cars per capita, after Detroit, we were told. After the Revolution, the state ended up owning many of these cars. During our trip in September, we did see a lot of old cars in Havana; some are driven by taxi drivers. What impressed many of us was the ingenuity in keeping these old cars running. With the economic embargo currently in place, it is difficult to get parts. 
The Cubans, for the most part, seemed a little puzzled at all the interest and the copious picture-taking. "Hey lady," you're camera is going to break if you keep taking pictures of those old cars," was the advice given to me by one carload of teenagers. Fortunately, that didn't happen. Included on this page are a few shots that I liked and I hope I will get links or shots from others on this trip. There were indeed some great old cars in Cuba. And the hood ornaments alone probably deserve their own separate page. (Improvised hood ornaments included metal pigeons and small multi-colored balls.)
