Back in Time

One of the most popular tourist attractions in Cuba, along with mojitos and beaches, are vintage 1950s Chevrolets, Buicks, Fords, and Plymouths that add so much color to the Island. For many a visit to Cuba equals traveling back in time and having a magical reencounter with the1940s—1950s United States, in terms of cars.  I took this picture of colorful papier-mâché (French for 'chewed-up paper') cars in Trinidad, a very small colonial town in province of Sancti Spíritus, central Cuba. Blue, green, red, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Ford, 1946, 1955, 1958 – such an assortment would definitely please anyone!
