A friend and his wife are visiting Cuba. He sent this shot. I assume it's his rental car.

You started it.
Why because our government interfered with their system of life and government to further our self centered ideals. Read chapter 4-5-6 of the book titled Hoffa Wars as in Jimmy Hoffa and you will discover all of the US government underhanded involvement before Castro took power.

And then you can read about our interference in the Middle East. That got us cheap gas for a while, but now...

Fidel Castro is now 90 years old and poses no threat to the US. I would love to visit Cuba and see those old cars and colorful old buildings. And fantastic music. When you visit any country abroad, you respect their laws as you would in your own country. The couple in the Red T-Bird appear to be enjoying themselves.

Old American cars are all the rage in Cuba. Now that Obama has made friends with Cuba, Cuban's can get parts for those old American cars a lot easier.

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree RonH...America is a rotten country, isn't it?

Old American cars in Cuba is not a rage. It's because we enforced embargo on them for trying to put Russian ICBM's on our doorstep. They didn't just decide to buy allot of old cars. They're old because they could not buy newer ones. Cubans are tired of watching the rest of the world go by them.So with the easing of tensions maybe the government will realize we're not trying to take over we're just trying to keep nuclear bombs as far from our doorstep as possible. I really don't think Washington cares who is in power;as long as they don't agree to import our destruction so they can buy newer cars.

There is a strong, vocal anti-Cuba block of voters who keep politicians from approving any lessening of restrictions. I'm sure American companies would love to start selling to the Cuban market.

While some of you are ogling the cleverly preserved vintage cars and contemplating contributing US dollars to the Castro Brothers Communist regime it might be wise to remember Fidel Castro’s communist regime had an entire engineering battalion, the Giron Brigade, in Viet Nam to maintain Route 9, the Ho Chi Minh Trail. This large contingent set up a field hospital, consulate and POW camps in Vietnam and Laos. Cuban interrogators where also sent to Hanoi to instruct Vietnamese interrogators in torture techniques their hero Ernesto "Che" Guevara had used after their own communist revolution. There seems to be no question about the inhuman torture and gruesome murder of some of the nineteen captured American airman but the media has been strangely silent about the seventeen captured Americans taken back to Havana for medical experiments in torture techniques. Both the Cubans and Russians had POW camps in southern North Vietnam and Laos and none of our men imprisoned there were ever acknowledged or repatriated. From the “Life In the Wild Blue Yonder” by John Lowery.
