Classic cars belong to Cuba like salsa, tobacco and rum. The classic cars that seem so nostalgic date back to the time before the Cuban Revolution of 1959: Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick. 75,000 of these "Almendrones", as the Cubans call these cars, are said to still exist in Cuba - around 10,000 in Havana alone. For nostalgia and car fans, the classic cars in Cuba are a true paradise. Cuba's classic cars are more than just a cultural asset of the island nation - every classic car in Cuba is unique and a symbol of the trade embargo and its consequences. Of the 15,000 remaining classic cars from Cuba's pre-revolutionary period, most are now to be found in Havana, Cuba's classic car stronghold. And unlike the many classic cars in European garages, the historic cars in Cuba are driven on a daily basis. Because the classic cars are not only everyday vehicles for the Cubans but also a dazzling tourist attraction.
