Description
In Havana, Cuba, the old American cars that crowded the streets used to symbolize a stagnant nation. But since the early 1990s Cuba has allowed limited self-employment and in 2010 the government began emphasizing self-employment as a way to reduce bloated state payrolls. The vintage cars then became a hot commodity. Enterprising Cubans began renting cars out to tourists and classic car restoration became big business. However, the parts to authentically recreate the ‘clasicos’ aren't always available so you make do with what you have. Here the men at NostalgiCar are working on the frame of an old car, trying to get it exactly right.
