Cadillac De Ville 1957

We needed a ride. 140 Miles from La Habana to Vingales. Four of us, three suitecases, one  crib and two stollers. A mini-bus was out of the questions. So Ivy and I went for a walk to Plaza Grande and looked around for a suitable car. And there we found him. An original 1957 Cadillac De Ville, chrome finishes, single bench front seat and a trunk to play football in. Of course with no seatbelts and air condition as those only came in favor after this car was built...Owner and driver Alfonso agreed to take us for 90 dollars. So we went, Ivy Connor, Nicola and me sharing the large backseat. Suspention was a dream, we made about 100 khm/h on the autopista, the electric windows were still working, the stereo was tuned to 80 music and we arrived in Vignales in about 3 hours. And when you arrive people look, they take photos, you feel like you are important.
