These are the common cars that you see in Cuba ( this pic is from Havana) you can see cars from the 40 or 50 still running and they drive very fast

That's funny


Canon 70D/70-200 f4/17-55 2.8/BG-E9/430EZ I like DSLR's. It makes a distinction between photo fans and normal people who don't give a damn how a picture could look like

I have a feeling after the embargo is done away with, American car collectors are going to go STRAIGHT to Cuba and snatch up everything they can. In addition to being old steel, there is going to be a great story attached. I can just imagine a story in Hot Rod or Truckin' about some old 46 chevy workhorse that has been working hard for 65 years and now has a pair of turbochargers under the dents and rust.

a lot of the cars have engines in them that are not even made in north america... maybe south america


its not how you take the picture, its the final result before editing.

That's not even an issue; it's old, cool steel with a story. American car guys with means will be snatching that stuff up the day the embargo is lifted.
