Welcome to my Cuba´s Classic series. After a couple of vintage Chevrolets, I am coming with this close-up of a fancy oldtimer Buick convertible. (I failed to find out what model it is so if you can identify it, please let me know in the comment section below).

I went down on my knees for this shot for better detail of the classy grille but if I was in the upright position while taking this photo, you would see the sea in the background as it was at Malecon, the Havana´s iconic boulevard and seawall stretching for long miles along the coast of the city.
Malecon also offers a stunning view of the Morro Castle, a majestic old fortress built to guard the entrance to the Havana Bay. I will definitely tell you more about the Morro Castle in one of my future posts dedicated to Cuba but my today´s post is devoted exclusively to this beautiful automobile which is also my entry for the #vehiclephotography contest organized by @juliank and @photocontests.

Looking good it's a 56 buick roadmaster
Thanks! I am gonna post more shots of old American cars from Cuba, I would love to have you helping me with the identification :)
Sorry to contradict someone, but it's actually a 55 Buick Special. The 56's had oval portholes, and the Roadmaster would have 4 of them. Since there are only 3 and they're round, it's a 55 Special. Beautiful car, and a great photo!
Wow, impressive knowledge! :) Thanks for the correction. Like I said, I have more of these shots to come in future contests and will love to have someone identifying those cars. Would you mind being tagged to help me out with that next time?
Absolutely, no problem! I pretty much live for old cars!
ho well I tried I was still close lol
Very nice photo of the Buick Oldtimer. There are two things that I consider important when someone is an artist, the first is that when doing what he likes he must enjoy it and the second thing is to make the imagination of the one who sees what they create blow up. And well I see that you enjoy what you do then your work is very bright, you have beautiful pictures and so you can tell that you enjoy every beautiful shot and on the other hand this old vehicle dumps my thoughts to the good stories and movies of different genres of the 60s - 80s that tell the historical and emblematic details of the time, that is, also achieve the second; what is very good. With regard to the Castillo del Morro and the famous Malecon I hope your story. Saludos @phortun
Thank you so much for your nice words :) Saludos from Mexico to Venezuela! :)
Thank you very much @phortun . Regards
Amazing classic car. Most of the cars nowadays don't have half the charm of the machines of old.
True :) thanks for the comment!

Nice picture, the colors really pop out !

Seeing the view from which the photograph was taken from its really good, because it shows the description of the vehicle, what needed to be seen. Nice job you did
Gorgeous lead sled!
