As my second entry for Street Photography theme, I want to present you another photo I took in 2016 when I was visiting Cuba. This is from Trinidad to be more specific. But it is not just a photograph, it is photograph with a short story. Here it is.
Fiat 126p was produced in Poland from 1973 up to 2000. It has a special meaning for Polish people and it's strongly connected with Polish politics during the communist period which is up to 1989. Back then, to own the private car was considered as luxury good. Cars availability was strongly limited and salaries were very low. So, Fiat 126p was indeed the first popular and affordable car for ordinary families. As you can see it is a very small city car, but in fact, it was the only choice for most families if they want to own a family car. But... the production was not sufficient and families had to wait a couple of years to buy this car. Really.
Can you imagine my surprise when I saw this car on the Cuban street in 2016? :)
