Parked near the iconic Capitolio Building, these vintage cars add a touch of nostalgia to the bustling cityscape. The image showcases the unique charm and character of Havana's transportation system. These classic vehicles, with their retro designs and colorful exteriors, serve as both functional taxis and cultural symbols. They represent a bygone era when American automobiles dominated Cuban streets.
