All is not gold that glitters.

* ---------------------- *
There is much in Cuba that takes one back to an earlier time. The cars in Havana are primarily vintage American 1950's,some 1940's ...{& the odd Lada} .. the majority of which still have their original parts. They are kept in pristine working order and, if a part is unavailable, an alternate mechanism is utilized to keep the auto in running order. Many have been repainted (and repainted, some countless times) in vivid colours that we might not consider using here yet so attractive there, one wants to hop right in for a ride.
On a walk through Old Havana in the hot afternoon sun, this black and white vehicle was sighted. Since Cuban cars are usually lively in their colours, coming upon a black and white one was somewhat unusual. It was well cared for, well polished, and looked quite aristocratic. It was a black and white automobile .... presented here now, in black and white.
