Default Corvettes in Cuba

I am just back from a trip to Cuba. I was lucky enough to find two C1's on the island while I was there. I am putting together an article and video but here are a couple of shots. There reportedly are 5 on the island. It was one of my best days as a Corvette enthusiast since I was 8.

That's pretty cool! I'd like to hear more details of your trip and read your article.

Very nice. As a kid growing up in the island, there was a schoolmate a year ahead of me that had a '53. Looking forward to reading your article.

I'd be curious to know what sort of innovative "repairs" they've done to keep them running./:\

It looks like the black one may not have been running for a while. Custom seats in the red one
