President Obama is thinking about lifting the nearly 50 year old ban with Cuba

http://www.upi.com/news/issueoftheday/2009/04/08/Obama-ready-to-end-Cuba-embargo/UPI-93491239207960/

Can you imagine the early model American Cars that will be available for purchase and shipping back to the USA

It will be a old car treasure chest

Interesting notion...I'd bet that most of the cars predate 1957...those old chevies would be bailing-wired beaters by now...plus the humidity and salt air would also take its toll...(you can sit on your front porch and actually hear the old chevies rust at night ;D)

A long time ago when I was stationed there at Gitmo a local was buying up all the junks laying around and stuffing them in a warehouse waiting on that very day of the embargo being lifted.

I know I will take a trip over and look to buy and ship 2 in the 50s era

lol I was so focused on getting me some old chevys I had forgotten that. Along with those fine cigars Nick mentioned too.

The chest possibilities just get bigger and bigger

The cars are nice. It goes with the old addage "Work with what you've got".

But what I'd be really interested in is if Cuba would open their waters for treasure salvage. Just thinking about it gets me foaming at the mouth. If that ever happens, I will be on the first flight out. But I won't hold my breath.

Well it happened! Can we work there, or just visit? Since we're opening communications, somebody will be working there...

Barack Obama this week lifted a broad set of sanctions that were designed to isolate the island. Cuban Americans, currently restricted on the amount of money then can send home and to one visit every three years, will be allowed to go as often as they wish and to send more money to relatives. Obama has also lifted restrictions on US telecommunications com­panies applying for licences to operate there, and on scheduled commercial flights to the island. Air travel is currently limited to charter flights from Miami, New York and Los Angeles for Cuban Americans with relatives on the island, and those with a special reason to visit, such as journalists
