Rick Knoble 1985 300 CD Didn't see one of those, but when I was in Cuba for a couple of weeks in the late 80's I saw an amazing number of beautiful old American cars. The year prior to Castro more Caddy's were sold in Havana than any US city [IIRC]. Then the supply went away and they keep these things running in any way imaginable - more Frankenbenz, Frankenchevys and such than you could imagine. Last time I was in a cab [the driver stopped for lunch with three of us sitting in the cab] the front seats were supported by wire tied into each of the door posts. Some of the shops there can fabricate parts for just about anything. Not much else there I enjoyed that much, though if you are into flashing feathers and pretty girls wanting to pick you up [married at the time, not that it mattered to them, but it did to me] the Copacabana was fun for awhile.
