Got some pics from a friend in Cuba, let's see if they can all be identified.

Even I can't ID them all, some are just out of my league, few grill badges confuse me.

This is similar to the very first car I bought when I was a kid. I paid $90 for it back in 1963. It was in nice condition, ran great and was a lot of fun. It had manual tilt front bench seat. It had the heater under the front seat with vents that went front and back so the people in the back were always nice and toasty in those cold Chicago winters. The only problem with the car was the vacuum wipers. If you had to accelerate the wipers would stop until you let up on the gas. Mine was a 2 dr. hardtop. I still have the glass windshield washer bottle and the under hood light that you could reel out to help see if you had a flat tire. Sure wish I had that car today.

It is a 1955 Pontiac

The red 52 Olds convertible can not be told from this view. The 88, Super 88 and 98 body was all the same. The differences were in the interior like carpeting, deluxe steering wheel and the such.

Ah you're right, I didn't think before I typed. Thanks for the reminder.

hrallan

I couldn't really see some of these that well but I'll give it a shot as to what I think they may be...
#5 - '56 Chrysler, #6 & #7 - both appear to be a '51 Dodge, #8 - appears to be a '49 through '51 Mercury with some kind of custom grille, #9 - possibly a '39 Oldsmobile, #10 - '58 Chevrolet, #11 - '46 Ford, #12 - '57 Chevrolet, #13 - possibly a '50 Plymouth, #14 - '55 or '56 Cadillac, #15 - '55 Chevrolet

#16 - '56 Ford, #17 - '55 Dodge, #18 - '56 Chevrolet, #19 - '56 Ford, #20 - '57 Studebaker, #21 - no idea, #22 - '54 Chevrolet

These are to hard to see as they are to small.

Clicking on them opens them in another window but they are still small.

Ron

Oldcar_Mechanic

I agree with most of what hrallan says except

#5 is a 56 Chrysler Imperial

#11 I think is a 47 because of the placement of the turn signals below the headlights. When a car this old is from another country it's difficult sometimes because of all the changes.

I would like to know what engines are in these cars. I've heard so much about hem useing Russian engines.

Ron

Oldcar_Mechanic

I think #17 is a 56 Dodge

Ron

I said #5 is a '56 Chrysler. There are two #5 pictures, the first being a '51 Chevrolet and the 2nd being the Chrysler Imperial. I think #17 is a '56 Dodge as well instead of a '55 as I said earlier. I still think #11 is a '46 Ford due to the signal lights above the top grille bar. They were gone on the '47s.
Also I agree that the pictures get even smaller instead of larger when you click on them.
I've also heard of a lot of these cars having some kind of Russian engine installed in them as it's almost, or I guess even totally, impossible to get any kind of original or replacement parts for them.

That little red car is probably one of the numerous Communist-built variants of Fiats that were (and are still) built under license. Cuba never had a domestic auto industry, so this little car would've likely come from Bulgaria, Russia, or Poland.
