Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Not many 60s cars in Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersix Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Both are 4-door sedans, not hardtops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 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.

DLynskey Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 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.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Looks almost like Imperial taillights on the tops of the 1955 quarter panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2dameron Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
