I watched the show called "Cuban Chrome" and it took me back! A 52/53 Oldsmobile with a diesel marine engine. $30 dollar bearings for a steering box! A 58 belair 4 dr hardtop with half the parts missing! These were just the problems that Cuban car owners face. Then there was the Cuban Car club and they had Mod A s and a hot rod. The purpose of buying the 58 Chev. for $9000 was to restore it! In the US, it would have been a parts car. Actually, instead of taking cars out of Cuba, the money is in getting pre 59 parts into Cuba.
