Description
A bright yellow classic Ford (C series?) truck from the 1950s in Santiago in eastern Cuba. Cuba is famous for the large number of vintage American vehicles that can be seen there, many of which were left behind by their owners after the Cuban Revolution in 1959. The subsequent US embargo made it harder to import new models, hence the older vehicles are still widely used. In eastern Cuba these trucks have often been modified to enable them to carry passengers in the back and they replace buses as public transport on many routes.
