classic american cars in havana cuba

This is a short movie of great old cars I saw in Havana in 2007. About 1 in 10 cars are 50 year old American cars in a population of 11 million in Cuba.

@MrSkooty5, yep it's a,Neon! It might have been shipped in from Canada or the USA via the Dominican Republic or Mexico.

I'm AMAZED how the old American cars thrive and some how survive in Cuba.. I understand the trade embargo between the United States and Cuba..BUT for the life of me...2:25 A Dodge Neon???? How did that car get in??

Cuba has 70,000 doctors in third world counties,

Israel was set up after the Second world war by the leaders of the west and America.

America still has a presence on Cuba at Guantanamo bay

@tudgemyster Cuba does not have 70,000 Doctors. Which countries have no right to exist? Any people who band together and call themselves a country, on their own land, deserves to be called a country. Ignorance does not not defeat democracy. Eventually, the people will win, and they did.

@orbitofdoom16 what about all the Medical aid 70,000 doctors in third world countries

or do you prefer a country that give 95% of its overseas aid to supporting a country that has no right to exist.

@Eric9284911 What is a Rocket Surgeon?

@dirtTdude The Audis and BMW are German made, Honda in Japan and Hyundai in South Korea-those

countries do not have a trade embargo and with Cuba like the U.S..does. That's why only older-pre-1960 American cars can be seen in Cuba-since the U.S had a trade embargo with Cuba since then.
