Default So, who's the first to head to Cuba....

To see what 50's relics are worth saving?

They have been saving them and I thought they passed a law that they had to remain in Cuba

You guys are faster responding to this news than I thought!
Don't get your hopes up too high as remember '59 was when US/Cuba relations went sour also any W-motored Chevys have been long replaced w/ Russian diesel engines etc.
The best I ever saw there were a few 50's ragtops maybe worth considering, a '57 Starfire Olds ragtop TAXI tooled by me one day but again a diesel transplant.
Could be a few treasures tucked away but probably best look for old Bugattis and Ferraris or other more exotic stuff?

With the recent surge of interest in hot rod diesels (here in SWFL, hopped up diesel trucks are EVERYWHERE and what everyone seems to want - they even had the first diesel truck drags last week where one guy rolled the truck he borrowed), those might be hot items.

Has to be some rich Cuban's 1920s-30s European car collection from the Bautista era stashed away somewhere on the island. You can bet there are people sniffing around to find just such a dream stash that's been in hiding since before 1959.

Is it just me, or does it look like a diorama?
