MARCH 2011 'STARS IN TRAFFIC'- A TIME WARP... THE CARS OF CUBA

Back in 1959 a guy named Fidel Castro took over a country named Cuba. That's about it for the history lesson and any further debate about the political repercussions because...we're a car site, not 60 Minutes.

But Comrade Castro's decades-long party in Havana did have one interesting byproduct-time stood still for the cars in Cuba.

That's why this month's Stars in Traffic comes directly from Cuba-the home of the world's longest running 40s and 50s car show.

COMMENTS

DENNIS:"Look at all the parts cars we'd have if we ever bust the Castro regime"

ROBERT:"I've thought the old cars of Cuba very interesting for years. I know its not possible to go down there and bring home a classic 1957 Belair convertible, but it's a neat daydream".
