I found this (very) short video of a Kaiser in Cuba while I was watching a railfan video from http://www.machinesofiron.com. The video was done in 1998 by some railfans who work in the TV industry, so it is of good quality. The clip is rather short, but clearly shows a 1951-53 Kaiser towing a little trailer, and the narrator mentions the car correctly. I asked the owners of Machines of Iron for permission to use this short clip which they generously granted. I just hope my equipment can do it justice as it was from a VCR tape.

Then there are at least 3 Kaisers in Cuba. There is also an early body Kaiser 47? 48? not 49/50. and a later utility model, likely a 51. Several years ago, a Canadian visiting Cuba snapped several pictures of unusual old cars including the two Kaisers, and they were published in the Canadian newspaper "Old Autos"

There was a distributorship in Havana and a number of K-F products --including Henry J automobiles-- are known to exist at least in the greater havana area. Many of them have been extensively modified just to keep them on the road.

People are very resourceful even under the condition imposed on them in places like Cuba!
