Unforgettable Cuban Taxis

Taxi rides in Cuba are the closest to a time machine ride, hold on into the American muscle car from the 50's or earlier while you can. Detroit's motor glory in the Habana's streets as a experience is set to a possible extinction now that Obama has ordered full restoration of diplomatic communications with Cuba. 

Please enjoy Our little tribute to the Cuban taxi from the best of the web:

There are no ways to keep them running for decades without parts unless you reach for the resourceful spirit of the Cubans

Interwebs Catch of the Day

While looking around www.taxi-library.org I stumbled upon vintage ads from my Kalamazoo's favorite Child, the checker cab.

In this picture: a rear vintage Checker Diesel Cab poster ad. If you know where I can see more like this let us know!!!
