Fotinguito, a photo from La Habana, West

Photographer's Note

The Havana is a large warehouse, especially American cars of the first fifty years of the twentieth century. This taxi, model Ford has been rebuilt and started with pieces from the Soviet Union or other countries, and readjusted to the times in which it lives, after an economy of shortages. These cars, which in Cuba are known as "fotingos" (old and dilapidated car) also called him "tres patadas" (three kicks), because of the simplicity of their mechanics and their way of fixing.
