HAVANA – General Motors may be losing ground to foreign competition at home, but in Cuba the American automaker remains king.
The popular GM models that rolled down Havana’s streets in the ’40s and ’50s are still spitting out fumes.
Government restrictions bar most Cubans from buying new cars, so drivers have kept over 30,000 of these vintage American models on the road - the good majority - classic Chevy’s.
Some of the autos are collector’s jewels, in show-car condition. But most live on the streets as un-restored workhorses.
