Show me a nice old car

Havana 2019 - Cuban tourists think it is a big deal to be driven around in "an old American car" so they pay big money to ride in one of these. Some were originally 2 or 4 door sedans that simply had the top cut off with an acetylene torch but the tourists can't tell the difference. Cubans thought tourists preferred pink convertibles a few years ago so they all painted their cars pink.

Thank you, boojum! Spotted it parked across the street from the park where my son has soccer practice, came back on a different day my camera to take some photos.

Here's another nice old truck, a Ford F-250 Ranger XLT, Fifth Generation (1967-1972).

Nissan Cedric Special 6 (1966)
Per Nissan's Historical website: Cedric was one of the most famous high-end cars in Japan for a long time. The second generation Cedric 130 was rolled out in 1965. The styling was changed from American to European. The elegant form, called “Flowing line”, designed by Italian carrozzeria Pininfarina was admired. It was the time when highway networks were rapidly constructed in Japan. Traveling performance in high speed, quietness and safety were greatly improved for the motorization in the future. The new “L20” engine (6-cyl. in line, SOHC, 1998cc, twin carburetors, 105ps) was first mounted on this model. This car is equipped with characteristic big rectangle tail lamps added at minor change in 1966.​
