Over the years Jose, who is originally from Cuba, but now residing in Canada, has sent in a few pictures of old buses still running in Cuba. Here he sends us another update.
" I found the same Leyland bus repainted."
YOUR COMMENTS
This bus is a mix of two diferent Olympic models. The front of the bus belongs to a 1959 Leyland Olympic and the side to a 1964 Leyland Olympic. These buses served in the metropolitan and rural areas of Havana between 1959 and 1980 resisting the worst road conditions, overloaded and sometimes with the engine running 24 hours a day. unfortunately, not many of them were preserved. They are a part of the cuban history that is lost.
Thanks Jose for this update, certainly it looks more beautiful now!!! Muchas gracias
