Sunday in Jo’burg. The weather unsettled. Breezy, cool, the sky laden with clouds. In another ten days, Rob arrives from Toronto. The house has been found, the movers booked, tomorrow I will go look at a car. Piece by piece, the architecture of this new-old phase of our lives is constructed.
To brighten the weekend, here are some more images of Havana’s old cars, this time in colour.

There is a bright mood coming, I agree – some African sunshine 🙂

The paint jobs of American cars of the 1950s representated three breaks with the past, from a near continuation of Henry Ford;’s dictum: any color as long as it is black; from monchrome to two-tone (the PR term that Madison Avenue coined); and the first appearance of “candy apple” – metallic flecked – options.
Thanks for the reminder!

It’s the post-war boom, right – American optimism, before Nixon, and Bush, and Trump; before Vietnam and Iraq…
