Classic cars!

There were WAY less classic cars in Cienfuegos than in Havana. It kind of reinforced what our guide said, that they're for the tourists. I still liked them.

I've seen all of these signs in old movies. It was so cool to be there in person!

Broken down

Some people were trying to fix a car in the parking lot. It was definitely a group effort,

The shops

This is the street outside of Fusterlandia proper. You can see the facades are tiled all the way down the street.

Paint

Osmin told us Cuba doesn't get a lot of paint imported. There was a lot of peeling paint but it just gave everything character.

Classic Taxi

Our tour guide told us that the classic cars were for the tourists only. Not a lot of people owned classic cars, they own Russian and Japanese cars. The classic cars had been rusting in most people's yards until they figured out the tourists liked them. Interesting.

Cool buggy

This was in the "other vehicle" part of the museum. We left the cars now. I liked this because it looked like something The Munsters might drive.

1960 MG

This cute little car was used in the film "Blue Hawaii" and was also part of Elvis' personal collection. In the mid 60s he gave the car to his secretary who later traded it at a car lot in Hollywood. A chef who worked on Elvis' movie, "Spinout." later bought the car and gave it to his daughter as a wedding gift.

Interior

I included this photo not to read about the car but because it was the best way to see that he also put his initials and his logo, "TCB," on the inside of the car as well. This was a very personalized car!

1966 Mongrel T

This car was built by the legendary "kustom" car designer George Barris in 1966. It was used in the movie "Easy Come, Easy Go" – it features surfboards as seatbacks, shag upholstery, a "Go-Go" buton on the dashboard, a meat thermometer temperature gauge and orange porch lamps. After the movie it was repurposed as the Jokermobile on the "Batman" TV series.
