In a thrilling exploration of Cuba's car culture, the MotorTrend Channel team embarks on a journey through Havana, uncovering the island's rich automotive history. From classic American cars frozen in time to the ingenious modifications made by locals, the team immerses themselves in the vibrant world of Cuban automobiles. Isma's 1959 Buick convertible, powered by a Russian truck engine, stands as a testament to Cuban resourcefulness and resilience in the face of limited spare parts availability.
Venturing into the realm of motorcycles, the team encounters the Havana Bikers club, where Harley-Davidsons, Triumphs, and Indians reign supreme. The historical significance of Harley-Davidsons in post-revolution Cuba adds a fascinating layer to the country's automotive tapestry. Robert, the team's production expert, sheds light on his encounters with celebrities and hints at a potential feature on the infamous Juan Fonio's kidnapping, adding a touch of intrigue to their Cuban escapade.
Against the backdrop of political challenges and a unique blend of cultures, Cuba emerges as a captivating "mixture" of tradition and innovation. The Cuban car culture, described as a "mixer," showcases the diverse array of classic cars that populate the island's streets, each with its own story to tell. Meanwhile, motorcycles in Cuba are hailed as a "rare dream," embodying the allure and scarcity that make them a cherished sight on the island. With each encounter and revelation, the MotorTrend Channel team unravels the layers of Cuba's automotive world, painting a vivid picture of passion, ingenuity, and the unbreakable spirit of its people.
