From the photographs Ive seen, there are some tremendously well cared for 50’s automobiles tooling around habana.

I am surprised epa hasnt tried to take this and away from him for pollution reasons, oil and gas and other fluids dripping into the soil.
My thoughts as well.
They might have some value in their own right but as classic collectibles they’re too patched up and not original. Parts were hard to come by, so they made do with what they could get. Engines, transmissions, all manner of parts on those cars are going to be other than OEM.
I understand the best of the old American cars were expropriated by Castro’s government in the 80s and sold in Europe for hard currency.
Kind of like me too, but without the beard. Good thing I don’t have 32 acres to collect junk.

Do you see the sign in the middle of the tree? A town in Texas named Ding Dong? Not that I have ever heard of! How about you?
Lol! No wonder I missed it, I think I blinked.
In my youth here in Douglas county, ga...there used to be a couple hundred acres of ww2 era jeeps. There were thousands...and many still ran. It was called “Juniors Jeeps”.
Sadly...it has long since been traded out for a subdivision of McMansions.
My best friend in this world and I had vip access. We gave them jeeps hell...and they gave it right back. Came real close to meeting my maker several times in that place....the worse and last of those incidents got us cut off from that place when I was 14. Found out those jeeps in fact did not share the ability to do dukes of hazard jumps as a dodge charger did. No sir.
I’m surprised I hadn’t heard of the place in the OP before.
Ditto bro....ditto.
