Cuba's classic cars

​After it's cigars, Cuba is probably best known worldwide for the classic 1950s cars which fill the streets of Havana & beyond. 



While the reason for their survival & continued use is one of great hardship suffered throughout the years of the continuing embargo, these timeless classics add incredible character to the country, & the resourcefulness & ingenuity of the Cuban people in keeping them running for over 50 years is quite remarkable.

​

In the face of the ongoing US sanctions which ensured their very survival, it is perhaps ironic that these classic American vehicles have become symbols of Cuba, & a draw for tourists from every corner of the globe.
