Journalist Richard Schweid, who traveled throughout the island to research the story of motor vehicles in Cuba today and yesterday, gets behind the wheel and behind the stereotype in this colorful chronicle of cars, buses, and trucks. In his captivating, sometimes gritty, voice, Schweid blends previously untapped historical sources with his personal experiences, spinning a car-centered history of life on the island over the past century.Packard, Studebaker, Edsel, De Soto: cars long extinct in the 606 $aAutomobiles$zCuba 615 0$aAutomobiles 676 $a388.3/2/097291 700 $aSchweid$b Richard$f1946-$01136498 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777960303321 996 $aChe's Chevrolet, Fidel's Oldsmobile$93761795 997 $aUNINA
