Car Culture Cuba Picture of the Day

July 4, 2019: Cuban-American Antique, Holguin, Cuba

Have a guess at naming the Brand of this car seen in Holguin Cuba last month.

Often the original badges have long gone. Like the engines. Replaced by Hyundai van engines and drive trains. But still a joy to see on the road. Most are used as taxis to support their upkeep.

A Chevrolet Bel Air from the mid-50s? Looks very similar to this one, which I came across in a hotel lobby in Cayo Coco (Cuba).

Probably a BelAir, and definitely a 1955...
