RAGTOPS IN HAVANA

About seven years ago I wrote about efforts by the Obama administration to lift some of the sanctions on Cuba, which I speculated may allow Cubans to update their personal transport - rather than keep a lot of old Detroit clunkers on the road

This week, my good friend Hans Tholstrup, who visited Havana sent me this photo of a range of ragtops parked up in the Cuban capitol.


The cars are still old, though not as old as some, but there's no doubt that Cuban vehicle restorers, mechanics and spray painters have elevated their work to the status of an art form.
