I go to Cuba a couple of weeks every year. If you know the right people, relationships forged over time, there are a number of absolute original 50s cars kicking around. Hard to find, but they exist. I went over a 57 Ford Sunliner a few years ago in Havana near Revolution Square. I could find nothing about it that wasn't original Ford. Incredible restoration.

Back in 2006 or so I spent 10 days in Havana doing some training at their vaccine plant. Every day they drove us from the hotel in Miramar to the plant out in the middle of the sugar plantations in a late-90s Chrysler Grand Voyager (3rd gen I think). The coolest thing was every lunch they drove us to their hospitality building, which must have been an early-20th century plantation owner's house, in a variety of 1970s and 1980s US or Canadian school buses. Lots of little Fiat/Polski 126s there as well - on one trip into the plant one got stuck in a pothole a couple of cars ahead of us, so a couple of guys waiting on the side of the road just ran over and lifted it out. Just about everything there has a diesel engine - at rush hour the stench of low-quality diesel fumes was pretty overpowering.

As a cuban I go to cuba to visit family often. There’s actually pretty new cars that you can rent when you arrive to the airport. My dad went this past summer and he rented a 2017 Mercedes GLC. There are new cars but gas is scarce so if you see a newer car it’s rented by someone who is a tourist.
