Vintage American cars in Cuba, remnants from pre-1959, persist due to Cuban ingenuity. Post-revolution sanctions restricted new auto imports and parts, prompting resourceful locals to repurpose modern components from non-sanctioned nations. This inventive resilience transformed classic cars into a symbol of Cuban adaptability, embodying a unique blend of history, necessity, and defiance against automotive limitations.
