Folks Of Interest My visit to Cuba

I have just returned from a visit to Cuba and would like to share some pictures of the old iron from there! sorry that some pictures are crappy!
let me know if you like it then I'll post more!
I have a lot more!

 

Yes we like.Post more please.

 

Cool pics...come on...want more

 

Any 2-doors in Cuba?

 

95% are four door

 

Thanks for posting. Will be watching for more

 

Nice pictures. Looks like there are a lot of four door cars there.

 

50% of all the cars I've seen are pre 60 usa cars lada's and old trucks!

 

Looks like a lot of them have been converted to Russian diesel engines as well by the size of the tail pipes

 

yes almost all!

 

Always an interesting topic. Thanks for the shots.

 

Most are used as taxi cabs.

 

Yeah. Check out the gel battery in the '49 Ford.

 

Not to Hi Jack your thread, but just a few I took a couple of years ago. There was actually some very nice preserved cars there. But VERY VERY EXPENSIVE and mostly passed on from generation to generation.

 

Cool pics. Even a Morris Minor thrown in there

 

It is a testament to the ingenuity of the Cuban people that have been able to keep their beloved American cars on the road after the embargo that prevented the Cubans from importing or buying parts from the states.

These owners have had to source parts from Russia & other country's but continue to make the cars road worth,makes me appreciate just how easy it is for us to get the parts we need. HRP

 

I have often thought the Cubans were some of the most resourcefull when it comes to their cars, it is obvious they have not had an easy go of it.
Never had anyone explain why there is such a high number of four doors.
Seems nearly the same way in Australia.

 

The more I see the cars in cuba I can't help but wounder did only more doors get sent there. Very few 2 door cars. Even watching the show Cuban crome didn't see any.

 

4 doors, 2 doors, Jim Morrison! Makes no difference to me. What really amazes me is the fact that those cars have survived all that salty air.

 

This was a perfect restored one with discs all around!

 

Amazing! Do you think that the day will ever come when any of those cars
will be allowed to be sold to folks in the USA?
