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 “3000” 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.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
