🇨🇺 Vintage Cuban Cars/ American Classic Cars ~ “HAVANA - CUBA” 🇨🇺 Part 2

in #hive-1949132 years ago

Hi all 👋🏻

Let’s continue today with some more amazing VINTAGE CUBAN CARS I saw in Cuba, and join me to go through today’s selection that comes (again) straight to you from the streets of HAVANA, the capital of CUBA 🇨🇺

The Photos in this post are taken with my ‘late’ Canon eos 550D in October 2019. This journey is also the time my DSLR “died”… and in some photos you do start to see it 😣 but they are still worthy sharing 😉

‼️ I posted PART 1 about #Vintage #Cuban #Cars a little while ago… if you missed that one, check out The post here! CLICK

❗️And another post about my walk around Havana Can be found here… click!

You find also more information in those posts about the cars, Cuba and Havana and I shouldn’t repeat myself here… so check them out 😎😉

ARE YOU READY? Here we go…

Wandering through the streets of Havana I saw all those vintage cars lined up perfectly in a row… where do you see that?
Of course I had to capture them.

What you see a lot in the streets of old Havana is tourists, riding around in these classic cars… over the very bumpy roads on a tour around the city. Let’s just enjoy the sight of the car.

Look at this Ford, I heard it come from afar… and even in purple 💜 turned into a street Rod. Low roof… NICE 😎

That’s a pretty cool taxi, although I say it myself.
On the side it says: Classic cars 1930.

Arriving in the large Plaza de La Revolution we see a few more classic cars around us.

That’s all for today’s post my friends 😊 it was so nice that you shared in my craze for Classic cars today 😎 even if it was just for a moment.
Cuba and it’s capital is beautiful and really worth discovering on a visit and seeing all these cars sure makes for a special adventure… more posts will follow about Cuba 🇨🇺 and these #oldtimers #classiccar #vintagecar so stay tuned!

Until next time 😎
Hope you enjoyed my photos and seeing things through my eyes. Thank you for looking and reading 😊 🙏🏻 Really much appreciated!

How are you dear friend @littlebee4 good morning
I don't think there is another country like Cuba that is home to so many classic cars.
I have seen some documentaries about why classic cars and the great work that is to maintain them and get the spare parts, you can not imagine everything they do to maintain these beauty
Beautiful shots, your photo album is great
have a beautiful day

Hello my friend @jlufer 👋🏻😁 good morning to you too!
No there is no other country like this with so many classic cars.
I know what they do to maintain the cars. Talked to locals over the years and heard the stories. Also saw some documentaries. It is truly fascinating.
Thank you so much 😁
Have a beautiful day too ☀️💃🏻

Thank you so much @hivebuzz team 😁 that’s great news! Yay 😃
Have an awesome day today 👋🏻☀️🐝

You're welcome @littlebee4, it's well deserved! Congrats on being so active on Hive 😊👍
Have a nice day 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Thank you kindly @hivebuzz 😁 having loads of fun 🤩
Enjoy yours!

Those are such cool cars. Classic and stylish. They really don't make them like that anymore. I like the pastel colors.
I wonder how they are on fuel though 🤔 probably terrible haha

They so are 😎🤩 wished they were everywhere hahaha lol 😂
TERRIBLE haha with capitals!

But depends what motor still is in it. These are mostly modified in many ways as they couldn’t / can’t get parts for maintaining. They need to be inventive.

Yeah I'm sure that a lot of them would have new engines and what not by now. I would hope so otherwise they probably get very low mileage

Indeed… you can have canisters with fuel ⛽️ in the back otherwise hahaha
But still worth it owning one 😎
One day I get a classic car that needs some real TLC, put it in the garage and it doesn’t matter how long I work on it… I will get it back on the street again 😁 just working on it alone… yep… 😉 love it!

You have recorded the beauty of a collection of cars. Wow, if my son is here, he will not be satisfied to see these. I will definitely show these photos. Very great dear friend

Thank you so much @azamsohrabi 😁 that’s nice to hear 🥰 💃🏻
Happy I can show them.
Have a wonderful day today 👋🏻☀️

These cars are so cool. I would love to visit Cuba one day and see these. It is cool seeing people keeping these cars well maintained.

Hope you will visit Cuba one day @derangedvisions as there is not another experience like that.
I loved every second there…
The cars are just behind cool 😎

Beautiful cars. Love the old style so much. They look fantastic

I do too… love it 🥰 born in the wrong time hehehe 🤭 😎💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Thanks @akida are you almost done with work? Hope so… that you can enjoy the ocean a bit.

Sim, born in the wrong time too. hahaha.
good thanks yes, 2 hours more and I am done...but tooooooooo many meetings today....Aaaaaaaaaaarg. soon I will enjoy the wild sea...Can´t wait. :)

Good to hear.
Not that long anymore than 😁👋🏻
Soooooon. @akida 😉😁🌊

A haven alright!
I bet your eyes feasted on them!
I liked the classic 1930s car and the Chevrolet Deluxe!
Have an awesome day, @littlebee4

!LUV

This is a regular day or this part of some exhibition or event ?

This is just a regular day in Cuba… 😉😁 it’s like stepping into another time @bobinson 😎

Wow! I didn't knew about this aspect. I have seen the cars in movies and all but I thought those are setup specifically for the movies.

This is just every day life in Cuba… it is great to see.
Imagine me as a classic car enthusiast looking around, taking many many photographs… hahaha all the time… and just being all the time : look there, look there haha 😂
More to come 😉

It’s a country that everyone should try to visit 😎

Wow!!! Beautiful and classic cars

Thanks @chanmaly 😁 for visiting. Those cars are just stunning. Loved seeing and hearing them 😎
Have an amazing day further 👋🏻

Wow!! These cars looks soo classy🥵🤩

Thank you so much @prachidhariwal88 😎

You are welcome😇☺️

Have a great midweek @prachidhariwal88 👋🏻☀️

You too😇☺️

Thank you kindly!

😀😊

👋🏻😁💃🏻

I remember when I once went to Cuba, I was amazed to see these beautiful cars in excellent condition, it was like being in the past. Greetings !

Yes, it is just so great to walk around there and feel like stepping back in time and seeing all those cars and some amazing buildings too 😎
Thanks for dropping by. Have a wonderful day today @wilfredocav 👋🏻☀️

I understand that in Havana there is a car museum, when I went there I couldn't go but it would have been interesting to visit it.

Didn’t even know that @wilfredocav 😎 it sure would have been.
I wasn’t that long in Havana itself. We explored the countryside afterwards and went of the beaten path.
So we saw so much… of course never enough of this wonderful country.
Hope to go back one day.

I really like classic cars like that,

Thanks @mnurhiver 😁😎 me too as you could notice. Love vintage cars…

Yes friend, 😁👍. For me, having a classic car is more perfect than having a luxury car. Because for me classic cars are very unique cars and not many people use them So that when we use a classic car, of course, people see us differently. That's really amazing.

It so is… @mnurhiver
I owned 4 classic minis so far… my last Classic Mini I had until last December and I owned it for 12 years.
I do take care of them myself… repair, restore and fix them up. One day I have another classic car to restore 😎😁💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

It’s special to own and drive a classic car…

That's really awesome mate @littlebee4 . Have you ever participated in a classic car contest, I really like taking care of classic cars but don't own one yet, ️😁. If I could afford it, of course I would choose to buy a classic car instead of a car today. because classic cars can be spent years, but the beauty of classic cars has always been a dream.️😁.
That's how to pay the annual tax, do we have to spend a lot of money.

Thanks @mnurhiver 😁👋🏻 Still a girl 💃🏻💃🏻 Hehehe but joking aside.
Yes… fixing one up… it can be done over years, no rush there. It is the whole experience that counts.
Love it.
I haven’t been in a classic car show yet with my own cars. One day… would be awesome.
I have no car at the moment because we are moving continents. Let’s see in the other side. A classic car should be no problem there. Let’s start saving up for it, after the move. As moves are always expensive. Hahaha lol

Hehehe, yes friend, 👍😁. someday we'll go to a car show together, and of course we both have the nicest cars, 😁👍.
I'm happy to be able to chat with friends @littlebee4 . Looks like I have a lot to learn from my friends, whether it's about the classic car experience or also for hive blogs,
May I ask for the easiest social media for me to chat with you, such as Instagram or WhatsApp.

Regarding moving continents, what my friend said earlier, may I know why you have to move continents.

Someday @mnurhiver who knows.
Thanks a lot, yes, it’s nice to talk to people from all over the world. 😁
I am not anymore on other social medias.
Our last moves are because of work relocating us. 🤓

Wow!... I enjoyed every image and then I ran to see the post Part I because I had missed it ;-) .... Excellent images, beautiful work!... Thanks for sharing @littlebee4 friend!!!

Thank you so much @jlinaresp 😁 also for checking out Part 1 of these cars much appreciated 😊💃🏻
Happy to share these amazing cars, I love them.
More posts to come… even these cars on the beach 😎
Have a great day further!

Thanks for the tip my friend 🥰🤗

Love to see your post and read all the kind comments about it. Thanks for sharing! ♥️🇨🇺

Thank you so much @abelfotografia that is really great to hear from you. Especially as you are there.
Thanks 😊 I loved my time in Cuba… can’t wait to be back and explore more.
Still so much adventures/ photographs to share left 😁
Have a wonderful day 👋🏻☀️

Coo cars, almost all convertibles, love the blue & white one.

Thanks @toohip 😁 most are… probably with the temperatures and the year they could get the cars over.
That’s a great one indeed 😎
Have a wonderful day further 👋🏻☀️

That's awesome! That's like traveling back in time. Really cool classic cars.

Thanks @leeart 😁😎 it is just like that. So cool to see these cars everywhere.
Have a wonderful day further!

One day, some day, I'll visit Cuba too and hopefully these cars are still around :D

I’m sure they will be @leeart as they are now integrated into the “image” of Cuba.
Especially for driving tourists around 😉

That's good to know then :)

It is @leeart but don’t wait to long, try to catch the charm of it before it gets too crowded with tourists 😉

If only I can do that right now lol!

I soooo understand @leeart 😉

Daaaamn, that taxi looks like a 1930 Ford Model A coupe -- one of the most beautiful 'common folk' cars from that era.

Isn’t it amazing @mrprofessordaily 😎 I wasn’t sure if it was a model A or B. I know the B came a little later… But they sure did a grand job keeping it up and modifying it 🤩💃🏻
Have a great Wednesday!

Uh yeah! Now that you mentioned I took a better look. The contour lines do look like a 1932 model B (non-v8). 1930 and 31 seem to have a thinner contour line that comes from the front all the way to the trunk. What triggers me is the radiator cover... it's definitely now a 32 cover but rather a 30 (modified?). Front bumper also looks like a 32.

See, that’s what I saw too… so I wasn’t sure. They did modify it. Maybe they used parts that they could get their hands on and made it fit. I think it is a mix, model B with model A parts or modified parts 😎 still pretty awesome 🤩 thanks for having a closer look @mrprofessordaily
Have a great day today!

It's cool that you are also into this kind o car 'geekness'

Thanks @mrprofessordaily 😎😁 I love classic cars. All kinds…
I owned so far 4 classic minis and restored them myself, also fixed them when needed.
I’m also into airbrushing and pinstriping… so it all fits nicely together.
I sold my last classic mini in December last year after owning it for 12 years… but after our big move later this year… one day I get an American muscle car to restore… just put it in the garage and work on it for a while 😉😎 yep… that’s the plan 💃🏻 Paint it myself too… with some neat graphics 🤩

Fuck yeaaaah! I've dreamed of a racing/rally Mini, but we don't have those around here. My dream British car is the Ford Escort MK II though.

Do you have any muscle car in mind? Those are getting pricey lately.

That’s pretty cool 😎 luckily we do have them in Europe. I have seen some in the US during trips and one time one in Cuba. But outside of that… now much so far.

The Ford is cool too. I had an old fiesta as my first car hahaha 🤣 it took me around.
I’m thinking of something like a Dodge Challenger RT or an Oldsmobile 1970 or 1972…
Those models are my favourites.
But I think it also depends on what I can find when I will start searching for it. Maybe I go another direction 😉💃🏻 Who knows…
Have an awesome weekend 👋🏻

wonderful

Thanks @ismaelrd04 😁👋🏻 Have a wonderful Midweek!

Woooow que hermosos untitled.gif

Gracias @karelysk89 😁 que tenga un buen día 👋🏻☀️💃🏻

Very nice. I love old cars.

Thank you so much @naniplayergamer 😁💃🏻 Me too.
I had 4 classic minis the last one I had for 12 years 🥰🥰🥰

You're welcome. Oh that's a long time. Nice.

Thanks… @naniplayergamer 😁
I already miss her… my Classic Mini hehe 😉

Ohhhh 😁

One day I get a new classic car 🚗 😉😎

Very nice pictures of these old cars, I loved the style you have given them in editing, very vintage, beautiful colors.

Thank you so much @zailecita 🥰😁 that nice to hear.
I always try to add something special. To create more mood and atmosphere, depending on the subject I photographed 😎
Have a wonderful Wednesday 👋🏻☀️

Awesome Post, I love all these old cars.

Thank you so much @betterthanhome 😎 me too… it’s a passion of me. Hahaha 🤣
Love them!
Have a great Wednesday 👋🏻☀️

Cool old cars 😋👌👌👌🍷🍺

Thank you so much @foxkoit 😎
Have a wonderful day today 👋🏻☀️

Thank you!! Here is cool summer day and lot warm :))

You are welcome 😁
Here too, around 30 degrees Celsius ☀️☀️☀️ Feels like middle of the summer but we are not there yet.
Sunny southern Spain… I am.

Unique retro cars!

I have heard a lot about Havana and I really want to visit it. You made me happy this morning!

They are so beautiful to see @mestanophoto 🤩
That nice 😁 yay… happy to hear that. Hope you can visit Cuba / Havana one day 🤞🏻😎
Have a wonderful day today 👋🏻☀️

Is the internet as censored in Cuba as I've heard? Everyone I know who's been there tells me how shitty the internet is.

It depends where you are in Cuba. When we were there in 2019 you could buy cards… for a certain amount of time. They are expensive for the locals, although tourists can easily get them.
Than you have to find public Wi-Fi spots where you can connect to the internet. Do keep in mind those are slowwwww…. You find them easily as locals do gather there and all are out with their phones.
It is monitored and you probably won’t be able to surf as you are used to. But on holidays… to quickly check your email or bank. Won’t be a problem. The rest of the time you should explore hehehe 🤭

The locals do have access now at home too, but again limited. When you move around and stay with them, most let you use the internet. Or you can rent a certain amount of time with them. But they don’t expect you to surf on it all day.
There are Internet cafes that are a bit faster, but not much.

Big hotels and the airport have good internet. So if needed go and have some food in a big hotel to cover your internet needs. But again probably limited too what you can see.
I never really checked what you could or couldn’t do on it. As we didn’t really need it. Just a few times to check with people in Cuba before we arrived.

What I've heard seems to be true then. We've ran across couples here and there who have toured Cuba and they kinda echo what you're saying. We've heard more than once how you can't do simple things like google maps. If you want to go to a specific location, find WiFi and snap screen shots cuz connection is so hit and miss you'll never find where you're going. Did you experience that?

Another was Air B&B. We were told they had to take screen shots for the same reason cuz connection wasn't good enough to access the app for door codes and stuff like that.

2019 was a good year for us too, we just got rolling at a good pace and then 2020 happened.

Sounds right as most say that.
You can use Google maps though. But in a different way. Download Cuba as an offline map. It will be a basic map. But you can get around and find where you are and want to go too. This is what we did. And moved around on off line maps.

We never stayed with door locks or these kind of things. We stayed with locals that would be there themselves or another person that would help us get in etc. so can’t speak for that.
But yes, sounds like screenshots before are the way forward.

I know… it was the year we traveled the most… and even moved from Spain to Malta. But than poef… the virus… lock downs, stuck in your house or even village and you can’t leave.

Luckily it is changing again. We fly early early morning to Paris… for a long weekend. Yay, first plane, so need to get up in 4 hours hahaha 🤣 but first I think I need to go to bed.
Have nice days… not sure if I be around here much in the next days. Just a little when relaxing in the evenings… But I will be back 😉😁👋🏻✈️
