Cars in Cuba

I expected to see 'some' old American cars, but I didnt expect to see so MANY!  Most of the cars are worn and have lost their chrome but a large number look pretty good. Surprising considering they are held together with makeshift parts and ingenuity. There are also quite a few Russian Lada's and an emerging number of modern KIA's from South Korea.

Typical street traffic on Prada passing the Capitola

Cant miss the pink

One of the best looking cars, but not running well
