Yes, the picture is definitely Cuba, but is that a Crown Victoria I see there? Sure looks like one. If so, I wonder how that got there?

It appears to have a black license plate, which would make it an embassy car, probably from Canada or the US Special Interests Section.

I thought in Cuba American cars were very popular?

New American cars haven't been sold in Cuba since 1959 due to the US trade embargo.

Yes and No. In 1999 I was on vacation in Cuba and detected this 1st Neon. It´s got a yellow plate such as all private vehicles in Cuba had.

@Germaneon: was the Neon the reason for taking the pic or was it the "Olsen-Bande"-Chevy ( http://imcdb.org/vehicle_81875-Chevrolet-Bel-Air-1959.html )

:wink:

Nice to see old yank tanks from the forties and fifties still around! :wink: yet, the black sedan above has modern, cheap plastic wheels, and the majority of these cars have Lada engines. The best way to run them daily maybe, but it's just wrong! :sad: LOL

That's interesting. Do they come via Mexico perhaps?

I have no clue how the Dodge Neon made it to Cuba.
@Ingo: Frankly, the Neon was the reason because in 1999 I had a 1st gen. Chrysler Neon, too.

Modern American cars in Cuba. I'm wondering if they could be grey imports from Mexico, as they can't come directly from the USA.
