Photos courtesy Gavin in the UK.
Continuing our effort to document the old cars of Cuba as they are now, before the country embraces modernization and before the cars themselves break down one last time, we have a collection of photos sent in by Gavin Upstill, known to our commenting public as Gavin in the UK. He writes:
We holidayed in Cuba earlier this year and can confirm that the old 1950s cars are still very much evident everywhere, but that they will get replaced as time goes by, with most of the survivors being used in the tourist business (according to our guide).
Most, but not all, and Gavin looked beyond the flashy colors of the taxis and other tourist conveyances to some of the cars, trucks, and mix-n-match specials used for everyday transportation on the island.
Thanks, Gavin! And if anybody else has photos of Cuban cars they’d like to share, let us know in the comments.
