Sure does have that look to it.

Not many 60s cars in Cuba.

Both are 4-door sedans, not hardtops.

The two cars on the right are pretty clearly late 1970s/early 1980s Russian Lada 1500s, by far the most popular car in Cuba.

BTW, the 1956 Chevy is a 210, but the 1955 is a BelAir.

For Rene, who is not familiar with American cars, the pink one is a 1956 210 series, the two-tone one is a 1955 BelAir. It is evident that the BelAir is a higher trim level. The two years are essentially the same except for trim -- grille, taillights, side trim, etc.

As Supersix said, these are both 4-door sedans which have permanent doorposts. You can see a 1956 4-door hardtop in your post #11. The hardtop has no post when the windows are lowered and the top is shaped to resemble a convertible.

Looks almost like Imperial taillights on the tops of the 1955 quarter panels.

Not many 60s cars in Cuba.

Wasn't there a ban put on exporting American cars to Cuba in 1959 or did Cuba ban letting them be imported? I'm thinking the U.S. put the ban on them going to Cuba.

Yes that's why I said it.Just like in Godfather II, the Castro revolution in 59 was the end of American cars and everything else in Cuba. If the car is a 64 Valiant, it's a rare sight.
