a few years ago I hired a taxi , a 1953 Chev.in Cuba. I could see the road through the floor and the steering wheel was a work of art. The original had broken so a new one was fashioned out of wood, just like on the Barrel cars. Another taxi had a Diesel boat motor in it, a 1954 Ford. You make do with what you can get.
