The main reason the cubans value the cars is they have no choice due to the lack of new ones.

@scottishlowoflow The Europeans who want old 1950s and 1940s American cars could sell the Cubans a used bottom of the range car worth say $4000. to $6000. for a old Classic that would be worth $10,000. and can be restored and be worth $25,000. to $125,000. depending which it is. Only old car collectors would want to do that and that would help the Cubans have a newer cars. I did not mean sell I meant trade the bottom range used cars for the classics which car collectors want to fix

is 2:01 a moscovich? i just started trying to learn about old cars so i need you all to see if i am right, so i can learn, is the one at 2:13 a car from the 40's, is 2:27 a chevy bel air from 1955, and i am pretty sure 2:51 is a dodge coronet from 1958, the one following is a plymouth from 1957, so am i right?

@crushingvanessa, You are so right! Not only have the Cubans continued to hold on to their cars, they have figured out ways to keep them running with Russian and Japanese cars parts when American parts could no longer be imported from the U.S. (my country). Though the UAW and CAW would consider this position blasphemy, I'm with you, we could ALL learn a lot from Cuba's example.
