I caught one of these vintage cars to the airport in Cuba. I asked the driver if he had trouble sourcing parts. He said no because underneath they have been replaced by Toyota engines and gearboxes. They just keep the body in good shape for the tourist market.
When I was in Cuba I took a 57 chevy convertable taxi. The driver told me that all Cuban classic cars are hybrids. They're American on the outside and Soviet on the inside.
