While I was in Cuba last week I snapped some pics of cars down there. I'd say that about 20% of the cars are still the old original American cars from the 1950s. After Fidel Castro took over, no more American cars, a mixture of Russian cars (mostly Ladas) and some obscure European cars (Pugeuot, Citroen, Seat, old Fiats) and Asian cars (Kia, Daishu, Mitsubishi) but nothing mfg on North American soil.

Old American Metal


More American Metal


Lada with hot wheels :lol:


Al Capone's house with a statue of his gangster car out front.


Nice view out back of Al's house (now a restaurant)

Man... I miss summer.

Not that summer here is anything like that.

Reminds me of some of the cars I saw in Reno. Southern climates are a car's best friend.

You know that Lada don't look 1/2 bad..... hmmmmmmm.

Al Capone had some prime real estate!!! Imagine waking up to that everyday!!

yeah you have to love Cuba for the weather and vintage cars, its not uncommom for some of those oldes to have 1,000,000 miles on them by now either.

I remember when I was there I saw all those 50's american cars driving around blowing out smoke like a diesel does.

none of them seemed to be rusting or anything.

Nice cars. The only reason I'd go to Cuba.

nice photos!

i envy places where cars do not rust
