Now if you want to take the chevy to the levy these days you’ll need to head for Cuba for an all-American car ride.
One of the biggest changes visitors will have seen travelling to the Ooh Es of Eh across the generations is in their cars.
So that where once our American cousins posed in Cadillacs they’ve downsized over the years to economy family cars.
Back to the future

Of course, President Trump is now going back to the future.
But it’ll take time for the reset to kick in so to enjoy the all-American experience again it has to be Cuba.
One of the few places on Earth that the Trump tariffs haven’t bitten is the Caribbean republic as they’re under an embargo anyway.
Che to go

TD Active Holidays will take you on a trip back in time.
On this adventure holiday to Cuba, you’ll see the sights of the colonial city of Havana by classic car or horse carriage.
Before heading out of town for the cobbled streets of Trinidad.
And marvel at the spectacular limestone formations of the Viñales Valley.

If it’s American-Cuban history that floats your boat then hop on one if the guided trips to the Bay of Pigs.
And the town of Santa Clara, where Che Guevara fought one of the most important battles of the Cuban Revolution.
Of course, this being the Caribbean, you’ll have all that blue sea and multicoloured marine life in which to snorkel.
