About this video
Cuba is a "a real life car museum"! But the reason behind that is dark. Back in 1959 all American car imports stopped because of embargo laws and forced locals into magicians, rebuilding engines, patching tires, and crafting parts from whatever they can find.
Those gleaming vintage Chevys and Buicks aren't collector's items, they're daily rides kept alive by pure ingenuity. To visitors, these cars are beautiful relics of the past. To Cubans, they're proof that even when the world stopped sending parts, they never stopped moving.
They're a huge symbol of Cuban spiritΒ andΒ resilience.
