A trip to Havana will make you
think that you are back in the 50s due to the American classic
cars with their shinny look, fine lines and sleek fins.
According to the statistics from 8 cars one is an American
classic car: Chevrolet, Ford, Packard, Cadillac, Chrysler or
other model. The Cubans use these cars for going to work,
shopping, travel, courtships, family trips, so for everyday
life. We don’t know if the manufactures of these cars ever
dreamed to have so many cars on the Cuba’s streets but their
expectations were exceeded. Because of the embargo, the American
parts for the cars are almost impossible to be found but the
mechanics are used with the improvisation of every piece and
tool. The American classic cars are very good taken cared of in
Cuba, treated like a member of the family and pass from father
to son. On every corner of a street you can see the age-old cars
and you can always start a discussion with the locals about
Cadillac, Ford and so on. In one of your trips to Cuba you may
have the luck to see a procession of the classic cars on the
streets of Trinidad or Havana full of music, horns, love and
laughter. The TV cameras are on the cars` details: the look of
the interiors, the power of the engines, the colors, the
fabrication year, and so on. The nostalgic people for the
classic cars can talk about the differences between the cars,
about their engines and qualities. The cars are for family guys,
for ones who love races as well as for the collectors. If you
are a fan of the American classic cars Cuba may look for you
like a paradise! Just go and see with your eyes! |
