American Vintage Cars Turned Into Taxis in Cuba

Thomas Mcinicke offers classic car enthusiasts some eye candy care of a little country called Cuba in his new series Havanna Cabs. The German photojournalist captured aerial photos of the vintage cars with their gleaming exteriors and old school characters that harkens back to the heavy U.S. influence dating back five decades ago. Individual owners have transformed the American relics into taxis as viable sources of income that gets handed down from generation to generation within the family. Surprisingly, the antique cars have held up amazingly well in the last 55 years and remains to be a cultural asset and a sight to behold for many planning to visit the recently ‘opened to tourists’ Caribbean country.
