About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Cruzin' Havana Car Show 2013

Once a year the parking lots along Havana St look a little bit different. If usually you can see the ordinary cars here, one night in June you can find the nicest cars from any time - tuned modern sport coupes, cosmic designed mid-twenty century dreadnoughts, bright hot-rods and, surely, hundred year old Fords...

 
Let's make our first stop next to this amazing green Kaiser Darrin 1954. It's a fantastic car! Fiberglass body, F-head Willys “Hurricane” inline six-cylinder engine, pocket-doors. The car price was $3668 and it was costlier than a Series 62 Cadillac or a Lincoln Capri at the time, but Kaiser offered plenty of luxury stuff as standard equipment including a tinted windshield with washers and comprehensive instrumentation including a tachometer. Production began in January 1954, but when Henry Kaiser changed his business focus from automobiles to healthcare by purchasing an interest in the Permanente hospital chain in California, production halted with 435 Kaiser-Darrins built.  





Isn't black polished and chromed Pontiac beautiful? With Indian head decoration and all these shiny details...




What do you think about Chevrolet? I just like the eyebrows ;)


Packard... This name is forgotten now...



How do you like Lincoln Continental which still uses original 1947 license plates? 






Old Ford. One of many.






Let's touch the red crocodile skin covering the Chevy's hood and walk around the old redneck Ford T.






Can you just pass by and not stop near turning green Hammer with six (!) subwoofers? Actually, better not to stop, cuz this car was LOUD as a hell!


Believe it or not, but this is one of the first Ford 1915 (yes, this is over 100 years old and still running!






Later we got into the chairs and stayed near Havana St for a while. Just to look at all these nice creatures running along the road between modern cars. It was just an amazing day in the parking lot ;)
