Cuba's Car Import Ban To End, But What Will Happen To Havana's Vintage Cars? (VIDEO)

LOOK: Could Cuba Lose Its Vintage Car Heritage?
|

Cuba is to relax import restrictions on foreign-built cars.

It means Cubans will no longer need to buy their vehicles from state sellers.

Until 2011, the only cars that could be sold had to have been built before the 1959 revolution.

Let's hope it doesn't mean the end of sights like this:

Cuba legalized the sale and purchase of automobiles for all citizens on Wednesday, another major step in the communist run island's economic transformation. The 40-page Official Gazette that published the law which takes effect Oct. 1 also says that Cubans who leave the island for good can transfer ownership of their car to a relative or sell it outright. Previously, the state could seize the automobiles of those who emigrated. (AP Photo/Javier Galeano) (credit:AP)

Cuba has authorized individual imports of appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and microwave ovens, lifting a ban imposed in 2005 amid a wave of energy shortages and blackouts. Islanders can now bring up to two such appliances per person into the country for noncommercial purposes, according to a law enacted with its publication Monday, May 20, 2013 in the Official Gazette. The list of approved items includes air conditioners with a capacity of less than 1 ton, ovens that consume less than 1,500 watts and microwaves under 2,000 watts. It also covers things including water heaters, toasters and irons. (AP Photo/Franklin Reyes, File) (credit:AP)
