When Fidel Castro and Che Guevara started the revolution on 2 December 1956 and later on took down Cuban capitalist government they didn't know that they where on the road to make Cuba worlds biggest car museum. Fidel Castro with his fellow comrades entered the capital on 8 January 1959 and after that he made Cuba a communist state led by one party. In the early sixties Castro makes all privet properties public and owned by people of Cuba. Same thing have dona communists in Russia during their Revolution in 1917. How does this effects Cuba's car lot you might ask? Well after the Cubans overthrow the capitalist and became communist their big neighbors USA didn't like this. They would attack them but Russians where protecting Cuba. This stuff almost ignited WW III but we wont talk about that. Then USA started to sanction Cuba on everything and anything they could come up with. One of those sanctions was introduced on car importing and Cuban's had to use what they got. They keep the cars they already had and since the new car's where not imported their car lots was becoming a car lot full of old-timers. Almost nobody could afford a new car so they kept and cherished their old ones. That is the story how Cuba became worlds biggest car museum. Take a look at the pictures bellow.
