RE: Don't let your creativity get away...

Cars like that are what I think of when I think of Havana. Old association, I know. I also think of Buena Vista Social Club and women with big broad hips carrying baskets down the street. I think I must be picking up on some dead ghost dude's nostalgia.

Those night shots are raaaaaaaad. Bien chidos.

Sort:  

You must have read some novels about colonial Havana. Or maybe you lived that era... Hahaha... Well back then there were only horse-drawn carriages.
Later on, the first cars started to come in, the so-called fotingos.

The propaganda deployed by the Ford Motor Company to promote the sales of such a car, what is known today as a "marketing campaign", was based on a central slogan or motto: "Foot in and go" ?

I watched a documentary on Buena Vista Social Club, that's probably where I got it.

Fotingos!! Me encanta 😄
