I have often thought of loading up the old Pinto and heading down to New Zealand....this is very inspirational to me.

The Buick's doors had been sealed to keep water out and it was powered by its original V-8 motor...

Take that one Ford....Chevy...Dodge....

Too bad the Coast Guard most likely sunk the 'boat' again...

Its too bad that the Cubans can't work out some kind of deal with the US diplomatically.. just think of all the rich republicans who could invest in "nostalgia" cars from the 50's... man those old "I like IKE" moblies pull down some major bucks at auction in this country now

You have to admire thier ingenuity. Sounds like they should be on Monster Garage! Not too easy to make a 4,000 pound-plus vehicle seaworthy! (well, sort of seaworthy, anyway-) You know they had a very limited budget, too.

There's a reason that the Cubans don't have an Olympic sailing team. The ones who can sail are already here.

(I was told that by a former member of the Cuban sailing team who sold cars for my cousin.)

MIAMI (AP) -- Two Cubans who tried to sail to Florida in a truck converted to a pontoon boat last year are making another attempt, this time piloting a seagoing 1950s-era Buick with four other adults and five children, relatives said.

They must have been travelling First Class this time. I've seen twice that many piling out of a 1970's Accord.
