      It was a 53 210 4 door. The grille is different from the 54. My daily is a red 53 210 4 door so I can tell you with absolute certainty that the car you saw was a 1953 model.

      Its almost impossible to make new cars like old ones. Classic cars are super unsafe compared to new cars and a big part of that is the chassi. New cars are also more aerodynamic which helps increase kilometers per liters and such.

    Even knowing that the reason they still have these cars is due to necessity and the block on imports, i still think it's truly amazing not only how they kept this style of car alive over there, but also how they managed to keep these same 50's cars running to this very day. It's truly a testament to how planned obsolescence wasn't a thing yet.

      It wouldn’t work the same. This era as well as the late 60s early 70s era is something that can never come back because they were products of the time. The 50s were a period of post-war happiness and prosperity that saw great interest and innovation in technology and styling, and an avid interest in space. The muscle era was symbolic of a more carefree lifestyle embraced by many at the time. This was due in part to the Vietnam war, but also Boomers wanting to be free and rebellious. An attempt was made to bring back retro styling in the 2000s, but that eventually because outdated and no longer the trend.

    I dated a Cuban woman (Mirna V.~aka Mi Amore) in Miami,FL.
    I went with her to visit Cuba years ago on a vacation (she wanted to go home to visit and we used immigration rules to our advantage). I spent 3 week in the town/village of Bayamo. Great people there...
    As a car guy..I wanted to hire a cargo ship and buy every car on the island

    If you find the journey unforgettable the next logical step would to be buy your own classic car when you get home.
    You'll enjoy a drive like that whenever you want, make the experience truly unforgettable.

    Where do they find them ? We junked 70 percent of ours. The ones we do restore are 75 percent fiberglass or replicas. The engines are rarely original so we use newer crate motors. We threw our classic cars away.

    A Cuban taxi driver can make more money than a doctor? No wonder so many people left Cuba. What's the point of spending thousands of dollars and 8 years of study to be doctor when I can just drop out of high school and earn more money by driving people around. Got love socialism/communism! There is no incentive for ingenuity and technological progress.

      I feel it's a great misfortune to those who didn't do their research. people who say this didn't quite read up on the whole story.
      The reason is two fold:
      Cuba has the 3rd highest doctors per capita than any other country, with a rate of 67.2 Doctors per 10,000 people. It's that a lot of Cuban children indeed thought it was a good idea to study 8 years and become a doctor that the rate is so high!
      What this all means is that in order for Cuba to employ all of these doctors they have to pay them much lower salaries due to the oversupplies in labour.
      The second reason is that Cuba offers Free Healthcare and in order for them to keep up with expenses, their salaries will further decrease.
      In any capitalist system, you would not have doctors paid normal wages, you would have a lot of unemployed doctors! That too, considering supply of doctors is so high, you would expect companies to also pay less salaries to any aspiring physician. The problem is not fixed this way, just compounded.
      If you want to critique Socialism, or Cuba in general no one is stopping you. But please fact check your statements before making them my good man! Have a nice life.

    These cars weren't all left behind by the people who left Cuba. If you owned a car as of Jan. 1, 1959, when the Castro regime began, you were allowed to keep it - but you could not sell it, only transfer ownership to a close relative. In 2011 or 2012, the prohibition on selling cars was ended. Since it was impossible to get new cars pretty much from the early 1960s onwards, if you were lucky enough to own one, you kept it running!
