2. CUBA’S CAR CULTURE BOOK
Following the coup perpetrated by communist rebels in 1959, Cuba’s once rich appetite for new cars suddenly ceased due to trade embargos enforced by the regime. As a result, Cuba’s car culture has been uniquely and adversely affected, and this very interesting book looks at the automotive landscape of this time-warped country.
