Hi, I=E2=80=99ve been to Cuba three times. Those old cars are great. =

longevity than its appearance. Originality is out of the question by and =
large. Yes, they can do amazing things on a shoestring but the humidity =
is a killer. I doubt if those so-called =E2=80=9CYank tanks=E2=80=9D =
were designed to see out Batista let alone Che and the Castro brothers!! =
You see a lot of bodywork patched up with God knows what and then brush =
painted. I=E2=80=99ve hired a couple of them. You normally hire driver =
and car by the day=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6the one I liked most looked pretty =

I was channel surfing this morning and came to Motor Trend channel.  =
There is a program called Cuban Chrome.  I happened to come across =
Season 1, Episode 4 and saw the back quarter of an Austin-Healey.  It =
was a 1959 100.    The program follows Cubans that are restoring or =
repairing mostly American cars so they can join the local car club and =
they can make money using the cars to transport tourists around.  I came =
back to it on episode 7 and they spent time with the AH doing body work. =
The owner has a friend who lives in the US and brought him some parts =
including a =E2=80=9C3000=E2=80=9D trunk flash.  For the 100?  It will =
be interesting to see how this project turns out.  For more info, if =
interested, go to Discovery.com/cubanchrome.
