About The Artwork
While we knew Cuba was known for its abundance of classic American cars, nothing quite prepared us to witness these behemoths barreling down grand avenues and marauding along the famous Malecón. How did all of these vintage rides end up on the island? It all started when Fidel Castro overthrew the mafia-loving Cuban president Fulgencio Batista on January 1, 1959. When Castro rode into town, many wealthy Cuban’s immediately fled the country, leaving behind their homes and their cars. Because of the following trade embargo with the United States, which forbade further export of American cars to Cuba, those abandoned classics that were once luxuries of the elite became necessities to the locals who inherited them.
