Re: Model A or T in Caribbean ?
I spent about 7 years living in the Eastern Caribbean. That time was split amongst just about all of the islands between the VI and Grenada. I never saw a single pre 1960s car. Probably only a few pre 80s cars the whole time down there.
The environment is brutal on automobiles. Taxes/regulations/shipping makes getting parts almost impossible in most countries. Fuel is very expensive too. Couple that with the fact that cars are not part of the culture in the Caribbean. My take is that the cost of ownership of a classic automobile is prohibitive for the vast majority of folks down there who even have an interest.
The people who have the means to own and maintain a classic car down there drive Range Rovers or have a Lambo at there summer home in the Mediterranean.
