Classic American Cars of Cuba

Escape to Havana for a 1950's time capsule of sleek lines, shiny chrome, tail fins and good times in Classic American Cars of Cuba. In Cuba today, one in eight cars is a pre-1960s American brand ­ Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler, Packard and other classic models - and just as in 1950's America, these cars are at the center of everyday life - courtships, marriages, careers, family outings. Classic American Cars of Cuba celebrates the timeless traditions of hot cars and cool music; the joys of cruising; the camaraderie of fathers and sons tinkering under the hood; the promise of romance. Revved up by a soundtrack of classic car songs, this program makes a passion for cars contagious. Produced & Directed by Leo Eaton ; A Production of WLIW Public Television New York
