It seemed they were everywhere when we stepped out of the San Jose Airport in Havanna. Taxi service is a recent private enterprise for those with vintage cars.
The vintage cars were in Cuba at the time of the Revolution. They are often passed in a family from generation to generation. The vintage cars of Cuba now create fine incomes for their owners. Convertibles have higher fares.
The experience is a curious one. The inside door handle, often was a re-purposed chrome window crank. Seats and upholstery seemed to be fine. Of course, the vintage cars are pre-seatbelt. Switches, accessories, dashes often are parts from several different cars of various nationalities!
The sound equipment was modern, and very similar. Music on USB sticks, cell phones, radio plays local music, and anything else. However, it was difficult to tell what was playing as the car started and moved away from the 50’s car show. The engine fired correctly. I know. I could hear every piston!
