My sister was in Trinidad, Cuba, last week and took a few photos of the interesting cars you can see there

Early 1960s Chevrolet Impala. This would have been among the last American cars imported to Cuba.

Great pic, many thanks.

I really would like to travel to Cuba, too, but now the house eats all the money. :sad:

Anyways, the small brownmetallic unknown car could be an Austin A 35 with unoriginal backlamps.

Ingo's right about the A35. The brown American car looks to me like a 1955 Ford, not sure of the model.
