Circa 1949 Pontiac?

And a Peugeot 205 on the right.

1949 Pontiac + DAF MB 200 = Havana. :)

Yes, it is weird to see these three different vehicles in the same picture.

The Peugeot 205 irritates me mostly - as it's Cuba, I would have expected rather a Lada or a Moskwich :)

Are the DAF-buses used imports? The colour-sheme is identical as some Dutch bus-companies have it. O.k., as I remember from our family-vacations in the 70ies.

There are lots of old Dutch buses in Cuba, e.g. http://www.bus-photo.net/showphoto.php/?id=3963

There also some old Pegaso buses from Spain, and used cars and vans from Europe that perhaps come from the same Spanish export dealers.

It is supposed to be in Dominican Republic, not Cuba. :)

For the Dom.Rep. it would be a much weirder mixture ;) We even can see a (for Cuba typical) Lada - the light blue car, hidden by the Rickshaw in the middle.

More streets of Dom. Rep. if you are interested...

The main pucture and fifth thumbnail are definitely from Cuba. The yellow number plates (private vehicle) on the cars and blue plates (state owned) on the bus match Cuban plates:

Domonican Republic plates are white.

Peugeot does not seem unusual in Cuba

The lower hood bar/trim indicates it's a 1952 Pontiac.
