Cuba: Vintage autos glide through Havana as Classic Car Contest hits town

  • 5 years ago
Over 200 vintage and classic cars drove through the streets of Havana as part of the First Classic Car Contest, to foster the preservation of the historic vehicles.
The initiative was organised by Iberostar along with the 'Amigos de Fangio' organisation, a club that brings together more than 300 owners of vehicles manufactured between 1919 and 1960.
A total of 208 cars signed up for the competition, but only 15 made the cut to compete for the prize of the best kept and most original vehicle.
The winner of the competition was a 1956 green Plymouth, which has been owned by Cuban citizen Ramon Ventura since 1983.
