An old man buffs out the body of a vintage car body in Havana Vieja.
In the face of enduring sanctions and limited access to new parts since the revolution, Cubans have displayed remarkable inventiveness in maintaining and preserving classic cars from the 1950s. Faced with scarcity, Cuban mechanics have become adept at repurposing and improvising, ingeniously crafting makeshift solutions to keep these vintage automobiles operational. This inventive spirit reflects the resilience and resourcefulness of the Cuban people, who, despite government restrictions, have managed to sustain a symbol of their nation's history and identity. The classic cars rolling through Havana's streets not only serve as nostalgic remnants of a bygone era but also stand as a testament to the unwavering spirit of a people determined to overcome challenges
