Original Cuban Oil Painting Of Classic Cadillac Car On Streets Of Havana Framed

Description: Original Acrylic on Canvas Painting signed with official stamp proving legality and authenticity of the piece. At that time in Cuba (2007) a license was required to sell art and these stamps were a way to regulate and differentiate between the legal and undocumented artists and their work. Professionally stretched and framed. Part of a series of classic car paintings from Cuba from a private collector of Cuban and Latin American artwork. Cuban painting of Antique Cadillac in sepia tone (shades of brown and gray) Measures 13" by 11" framed including rustic antiqued solid wood frame. American classic cars in Cuba are like time capsules on wheels. These cars have become essential means of transportation for the residents. You’ll find taxi drivers/owners in a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air picking up fairs on 23rd Avenue; while in the United States a Chevy like this one in mint restored condition could fetch upwards to $80,000. In 1957 a middle-class Cuban might have purchased this car for $2,000 or even less. Carros Classicos Americanos are perhaps the strongest example of Cuban resilience. Car parts cannot be imported from the United States so drivers have become very ingenious in keeping these iconic beauties running. Today there are an estimated 60,000 Carros Classicos Americanos left in Cuba and they are kept running with parts from old Russian or Chinese engines. General Information from Seller: Sold as is.
