Cuban Wings

I sometimes think these old American cars on the streets of Havana Cuba will never die. Mechanics are managing to keep them all alive with a blend of ingenuity available parts. Sometimes these cars end up with carburetors of Soviet trucks, and hydraulic brakes are pumped full of home-brew brake fluid.

Nothing short of amazing that they are on the road after five decades of US Embargo.
