KongaMan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 First number is Fran's, the second number is Bill's. I can remember dialing only 5 numbers to reach anyone in town. These days, I have to dial an area code and the full exchange to call across the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nice upgrades like WWW tires, gas door trim and tail pipe trim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the white only behind the front tires makes it look like it goes fast, just like the Corvette paint jobs of the same era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I were on the Malecon last week, below is a photo taken nearby which shows what happens to Cuban cars when they get to old to be driven as taxis. Short of being parked on a golf course driving range I can not imagine what could have happened to it. BTW the '50 was parked illegally, usual for Cuba, cops everywhere.

Mark Simmons Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm with avgwarhawk the hood on the is taller on that ambulance. I'm wondering what the reason is for this . Was this a feature of just this particular body builder ? Or ? I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is an aesthetic move since the builder probably raised the roof lines? reminds me of a bull dolphin!
