TDI07: The cars of Cuba

This day in 2007:

Cuba: One of the great things about Cuba is the classic cars. They are a heap of crap but they do look great. If only they were renovated. Sure beats the ladas which is the only other thing on the roads.

 

Classic American cars

Another thing Cuba is famous for is their cars - namely their old classic american cars.

Any car enthusiast would be filled with joy at the selection of cars but heartache at the condition of them. The big American V8 that use to file the engine bays are now small, noisy, powerless Lada engines. The paintwork is original (and flaking), the interiors are original (and cracked) and where something has broke, it has been fixed with what ever is available.

Still they are quite a sight as they slowly rumble down the streets of Habana.
