1950? De Soto convertible.

We had come from Fusterlandia (last post) but that visit was actually in the middle of the previous post, so this post follows on from that.

1958 Chevrolet?
We are back in Revolution Square.
.
,
1958 Cadillac convertible.
.
The blue taxi may be a 1950 DeSoto; the car on the right is a 1952 Chevrolet.
.
We visited Edificio Bacardi, built to be headquarters of the Bacardi Rum company. It is an art deco landmark, built in 1930 after an international architectural competition, and was nationalised by Castro in the early 1960s. (Also next three images)

On the street in Old Havana.

Horse and carriage in front of the Castillo de la Real Fuerza.

Elegant street view.

Streetside offerings.

Rebuilding a street in the traditional fashion.
.
Maybe not much in the way of pollution controls.
.
Residences.
.
We discovered some great music in a late night jazz bar.

1953 oldsmobile – our taxi ride back to the hotel.

Really nice work Murray.
