Description

The streets of Cuba are filled with a magnificent collection of unique cars which reflect the island’s dramatic heritage and decades of isolation.

Cut off from the world of modern transportation, the Cubans have been forced to make the most of their limited resources.

The result is an astonishing array of vehicles—from outlandish automobiles which seemingly defy belief, to other models of majestic beauty, lovingly restored with outstanding ingenuity.

‘Cars of Cuba’ captures the glory of these kings of the road, before they disappear as a new wave of change sweeps across the country.
