Each year we like to pack our bags, and cameras, and travel somewhere in the world to get an understanding of different car cultures and scenes. For this special episode, we head to the other side of the planet to check out some of the incredible cars in Cuba. In this documentary, we meet the locals, work with some mechanics, and of course drive some crazy cars. It certainly was an incredible experience, and gives you a totally different understanding of what it means to modify cars. This has been a huge project for us, so we hope you enjoy The Cars of Cuba!

Thanks mate. The "camera man" was actually just the two of us and a mate. I used a 5D. Marty shot using GoPros. And we took a mate with us to help out so we could get shots of both of us at the same time. Total production crew of 3 (including the two of us) Back at home we edited it ourselves and wrote the music. Was a huge job but really happy with how it turned out. Now we're keen on doing it again in another country!

Hi guys, I am Cuban and like a lot of us I live in Miami where I stumbled onto your channel and I have loved it ever since. I got to say that watching this little documentary made in cuba brought tears to my eyes. It's being 7 years since I left my country and I have missed it every day of my life. For me it was an emotional roller-coaster watching you guys driving a Chevy powered by a diesel Toyota engine and a lada because those are the cars I grew up with. My grandfather owned a lada1600 when I was a kid and the car I was taken to the airport on when I left the country was a 1955 Chevy bel air powered by a Mitsubishi diesel engine. I can guarantee I am one of the few Cubans who actually know about your channel and follow you guys since the language is different and the little English they speak down there is not enough for your accents. I have been a subscriber for the last 4 years. My favorite car of all you have worked on was MOD MAX and the Mini. Thanks guy for doing this project in my beloved island and I hope you can do it again. Leo

Its beautiful to see a time capsule but it killes me to know the actual struggles my fellow Cubans go through as we can see in this short documentary.. thank you mighty car mods for exposing the struggles Cubans go through just to keep a car running

Being part Cuban, and the two losses of my family originally from Holguín and Havana, Cuba. I'd Like to Thank you guys for travelling to Cuba to see this amazing can-do country of die-hard car enthusiasts. The part where Moog mentioned the red ribbon on the cars is a true thing for all car owners in Cuba. One day I got into a car accident and the week after I fixed the car and repainted it my Grandmother gave me a red ribbon to place in my car to have for good luck, she said it will keep me and the car safe.... I was in Tears mate! I lost my grandmother and My Aunts father March 9th, the same day.... Cheers and I have always been a strong fan of you guys, Thank you.

What a way to show that we live in such a disposable society. The Cuban people are the world's best recycling nation. We could all learn a lot from them. P. S I need that 57 you were driving. Epic.

Hello MCM , I have been following your channel for a while now and I am very touched from this video seeing you guys going around Havanas streets is wonderful for me . I am 23 yo and was born in Cuba; learned how to drive there in Freaking old Lada at the age of 13 before leaving the island with my family. I dont know how to express my gratitude to you guys for showing us to the world in this way. I have seen your progress since you guys started to work in your driveway and one thing I have noticed is that you guys are unique and great not because you love cars in a passionate way but because you know how to transmit that sentiment trough videos and show us what real passion is, by the simplest things of life . Thank You Guys.

Thank you so much for this! The car culture in Cuba has always fascinated me.

I'm so happy my little island is finally getting some attention :,)

I am Cuban and I would just like to say thank you. My Uncle owns a work shop and taxi in Havana and this was so special for me to see. Everything you said was spot on. I would also like to point out that the type of mods/cars you see outside Havana is vastly different. A lot more Jeeps and frankensteins as you call it as the roads are as good. Anyways thanks if either of you see this.

Considering thier situation in Cuba, the preservation of old cars by necessity has in fact helped preserve decades of car culture for the world!

a few months ago, roadkill bought cheap Japanese cars and lightly modified them. today, Mighty car mods works on getting a rusty old american car working.

It's 3:30 AM here in India...been waiting just for MCM to drop this video. Maad

I think might car mods should do car scenes of more countries around the world, just to see the diversity

Lemme tell ya a story, lads. Around 2009 streetfire suddenly stop working "in my region", the struggle to find something car related on YT was real, tons of cat videos tough, one day my mate send me a link, saying - check these guys, they're doing our type of messing up as us. I think it was "how to install front intercooler" video. Immediately hooked up, watched regularly for a while, then life happened, YT stopped listing the videos as recommended, forgot about MCM for some years... A week ago, browsing my saved channels when suddenly - what to see, what to see. The boys kept going. Hats down! Legends! Been binge-watching all of missed content. The specials are A-MA-ZING. Without competition. And at last but not least - these lads are one of the TWO car shows I know (the other one is the old TopGear), that take the extra step, not only checking the wiki articles for the dry data, but learning how to properly pronounce brands, names, locations and so on. And doing it with ease! Unbelievable! As I said - hats down boys, hats down! Long story short - I'm very, very glad you're here, doing what you do, lads. Cheers. btw, back in the days we affectionately called the 126p "Ficho".

by far one of the best car shows on tv/interweb atm. keep up the good work

Moog way of saying "Fiat" is adorable. Also if you are higher than 160cm you drive "Maluch" from the back seat.

Hello guys! As a polish- You're using "polski" as a model of car. Basically its licensed Fiat 126- when its Fiat 126 ->P

Being a Gear head myself and Cuban living in the USA. Thank you so much for sharing this!!! at least to me it means a lot!!!

The last time I was there, we rode in a taxi that was made of the front end of a Studebaker, the back half of what looked like a Mitsubishi Galant, powered by a Lada diesel. This was by Guardalavaca in Holguin province, and it was the owner's pride and joy, built it all himself. Rarely have I fallen in love with a place so quickly as Cuba, the people are incredible.

That "Fiat Polski" is a Polish car Fiat 126p also known in Poland as "Maluch"

Imagine what those guys could do if they would have all of the materials and equipment that they want... I think they could build some crazy sh*t.. :D

Excellent video guys. I used to live there and actually I think that I know one of the drivers of that old 1500. When I was in Cuba I had a beautiful lada 2105. Good memories brought back.

You guys are just the best! Cuba? I so want to go there and you've given me even more reason to. Props for showing us one of the most amazing car cultures in the world!
