a selection of Cuban cars

[kiva667]

From the last couple weeks - nothing rare and even one upside down since I am using a phone - but nonetheless interesting.

EDIT: Now three upside down! Just joiined the ranks of those who can't figure out how to post photos from a phone...

I would say around 5-10% of cars on the road are classics.

Where all did you get to? I used to consider myself a bit of an expert on Cuba, but haven't been there since 2009. I hear things are changing, but not too fast.

Flew from Montreal to Holguin and from there rented a car to drive around eastern Cuba, including Santiago and coastline to the west, Guantanamo, and various points in between. Wonderful people everywhere and let's hope the Americans come to their senses.

Nice! I've have been to Holguin many years ago, but just to an all-inclusive. Furthest I've been in a car is Las Tunas. Santiago de Cuba is the second biggest city next to Havana and I hear it's a great place. Since nothing happened to you with your rental car, I'll tell you something: I would never rent a car in Cuba again. If you get in an accident, you might not be allowed to leave Cuba. It has happened to several Canadians and there are horror stories. When I was there, I was friends with a woman who worked at the Canadian Embassy, and she told us of numerous people who have ended up in this predicament. Glad to hear everything went well for you.http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/10/28/mississauga_man_trapped_in_cuba_after_car_accident.html
