I started to edit this in color as part of a series on the old cars of Cuba. Color looked good, but it was begging me for black and white. The waves were high and crashing over the sea wall in the background.

Nice capture - what is the condition of the interiors in these cars?

On an island in the middle of all that seawater and salt air how do they even exist?

It really depends. Some of the cars are very well restored, considering the resources (or lack thereof) they have. These guys get very creative making things work. Others are complete junkers inside and out, and those are typically used as taxis for the locals. They can fit a lot of people in one of those old land yachts.

The car I hired for the week was beautiful inside and out. The interior had been completely redone, then covered in clear plastic so no one would mess it up. My driver was very protective of his car and constantly polishing on it. One time I shut the door a little harder than he would have preferred (and I'm usually very gentle with cars), and he was quick to let me know. The translation was "you have to treat it like a lady, soft and easy."

There is much to see here - the sharply defined taxi against a background of autos from another era misted in sea spray. (Looks like a 1954 Chevrolet)

Well done Doug! Love the "cars of Cuba"! Would love to see it in color also.
