Hello my Steemit friends and followers!

Welcome to my Cuba´s Classic series. I have already showed you some fancy old Chevrolets, Buicks and Dodges in the previous episodes but this time around, I am going to please all Cadillac fans as my entry for today´s #vehiclephotography contest organized by @juliank and @photocontests features this beautiful red Cadillac oldtimer.

I took these shots near the Terminal Sierra Maestra on Malecon, the Havana´s iconic boulevard and seawall stretching for long miles along the coast of the Cuban capital.

I have already told you I am not really a car enthusiast and honestly, I have no idea what model it is so if you can identify this vehicle, please write it down in the comment section below. The first person to come up with the correct model name will get a slightly bigger upvote than other interesting comments ;)


Czech: Dnes opět přicházím s dalším dílem své minisérie věnované starým americkým bourákům, které jsem loni fotil na Kubě. Tentokrát jsem si připravil snímky starého nablýskaného cadillacu. Lokalitou byl opět Malecon, jedna z nejznámějších havanských ulic vedoucí podél pobřeží. Pokud někdo z vás dokáže jako první správně určit model, má u mě upvote ;)

Good day @phortun, as always very beautiful your shots. ¡Congratulations!.
Matches the 1954 convertible cadillac of the 62 series.




Very elegant by the way and that red makes it charming. Regards.

Hi Rosibel, I had no idea you are a classic car expert :)) You seem to be right, thanks for your help. Well-deserved upvote :)

Hello @phortun. I really am not, but I like to research and read and I found attractive your proposal to say what model was this cadillac and I just started to investigate. I'm glad to have found the result. Greetings.

I thought Havana was just a song lol.

That is some very nice photography, I like the way the blue sky makes the red of the car stand out!

thank you :) yeah, the contrast between the blue sky and the red color of the car was just great ;)

It shows you how solidly made these old cars were - but most of them went to the dump!

Yeah, they must have been made of some quality materials and with love :) However, it is also thanks to the great care of the Cuban people that the cars still look so great.

Big Daddy Cady, love it.

V autech se nevyzbám. Je to už hodně dávno, co šla rozeznat škodovka od mercedesu ;-)

Tak to jsme na tom podobně :D

I love this car!

Looks like a Coupe deVille from 55!

I put that in google and the images look a bit different but thanks anyway :)

Wow, great clicks! I'd love to visit Cuba one day, I heard there are loads of these classics out there. Must be amazing in that scenery!

Hey, thanks for stopping by :) Yes, Cuba is full of these fancy cars, it is pretty easy to make some nice shots there with so many cars like this one all around you. Old car fans will totally love Cuba.

Excellent post! Visit my post and see what you think about this great tourist place that I shared. If you liked it, vote! regards
