Those old cars are great. They don’t all however stand a very close inspection. Seems like the owners usually (have to) take more pride in their cars’ 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 “Yank tanks” 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’ve hired a couple of them. You normally hire driver and car by the day……the one I liked most looked pretty good but the driver told me that it had the engine from a Chinese fishing boat! It was hugely underpowered but, what the hell, we had a good day out.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Simon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Healeys <healeys-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>HealeyRick<br><b>Sent:</b> 14 January 2025 13:58<br><b>To:</b> i erbs <eyera3000@gmail.com><br><b>Cc:</b> Healeys at Autox <healeys@autox.team.net><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Healeys] Cuban Chrome<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>You can see a Cuban bugeye in the film. <b>Juan de los Muertos</b> <a href="https://studio.youtube.com/video/79K1j_a3ufg/edit">https://studioyoutube.com/video/79K1j_a3ufg/edit</a>.

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 “3000” trunk flash. For the 100? It will be interesting to see how this project turns out.
