The custom industry seems to be unaffected by this change in customer preference. Although we have a plethora of old pickups and SUVs being resurrected, garages seem to have no restraints when starting projects based on other kinds of body styles. That’s because they probably know people will not let themselves be influenced by modern trends when seeing something that clearly has value. And the 1955 Chevrolet Nomad we have here sure seems like it does.

it s incredible, actually going inside these old cars. beautiful, aren t they? julio was a taxi driver five years ago, with his beloved 1955 chevrolet bel air. now he s taken advantage of government reforms and is a partner in a business that restores and hires out classic vehicles to tourists. this is such a rewarding thing to do. i haven t started painting it. tourists will be important for us, this business particularly. the business brain behind the company isjulio‘s wife, nidialys. for us, it s very important when we finish the restoration to get money. you get money? we kuve much better. we can t travel. we live like capitalists, but we work a lot, but we live better too.
the us embassy in havana reopened and more americans were allowed in to visit the island. so we thought it was a great time to send rajan along. classic cars like this were left behind when the rich american playboys left town after the revolution. now, it looks like they are on their way back. because relations had thawed between the two countries and vintage cars are a hit amongst tourists who are here already. julio, you are restoring this 1958 chevrolet bel air car, a lovely car.
. i m here in minneapolis. the last time i was here was back in may to cover the death of george floyd at the hands of police and the widespread demonstrations that followed. since then, millions of americans have hit the streets in protests against police brutality and systemic racism, all of that despite the global pandemic, which is requiring us to wear these masks.
