Step back in time: Annual classic car rally revives vintage glory in Havana

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:04:38 GMT

HAVANA, CUBA (WSVN) — The charm of yesteryear enveloped the streets of Havana on Sunday as vintage American cars, vibrant and iconic, took center stage during the Annual Classic and Antique Cars Rally.Chevys, Fords, and Pontiacs from the 1950s, adorned in vivid colors, raced through the city, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the remnants of pre-revolution Cuba. These classic automobiles, painted in unusual bright hues, are a common sight along the city’s Malecon (sea wall) and other popular sites, primarily serving to take tourists on rides.

This ingenuity not only kept these classic cars operational but also contributed to their preservation as cherished symbols of the island’s rich automotive history. As the Annual Classic and Antique Cars Rally continues to captivate...

Just don’t praise Margaret Thatcher.Keir Starmer — the opposition Labour leader who polls suggest is firmly on track to become the U.K.’s next prime minister — provoked howls of outrage this weekend in mildly praising the former free-marketeer Conservative PM, who remains a deeply divisive figure on the left.On Monday, Starmer was forced once again to defend his respect for Thatcher for having had “a mission and a plan,” as his comments risked overshadowing a major economic speech.The tempest erupted after Starmer made a deliberate pitch to Tory voters in the right-leaning Telegraph newspaper.
