chocolate

Trinidad, Cuba

there are thousands of old cars in Cuba...many dating from the 1950s when the island was a playground for Americans..Plymouths seemed to be particularly popular...as well as Chevrolets...like this chocolate coloured mass of steel and chrome

There is so much character to this old car and the years of service it has seen. Wonderful colors and perspective in this capture. Voted

I'm always inspired with Cuba, this is one cuban element that triggers me. Fabolous low-angle shot with these stunning colors. It's additionally boosted with textures of the road... big vote!

What a great image and what a great name for it! The cobblestones are so well defined and amazing as well. ~V~

Another very good portrait of one of the “old Americans” of Cuba.
People who can fix them with casual spare parts and are able to keep them working after so many years must be genius!

For me this shot is more Cuba that the Cigar or Salsa. v.

Nice perspective of this old Chevy. Nicely composed against the green background. I like the home made hood ornament. "V"
