LATIN AMERICA IN BLACK AND WHITE - no.10 - Big Mama 1952 Chevrolet Wagon Tin Woody?

Each day that I stayed in Havana was a new adventure - I had no agenda - knew nothing about the place and was sick as a dog most of the time. But I was still excited and was hungry to see everything I could. Whenever I wasn't walking I was driving around in a big, bad classic car. When this one passed us I had to record it - it was a thrill to see these iconic cars actually in service as taxis. Cubans shared them and paid very little to get anywhere in the city. I'm not positive but I think this one was a 1952 Chevrolet Tin Woody - a seriously beautiful machine with curves in all the right places.
