Cuba's Chevy doctor keeping classic cars on the road

Description

In Cuba, where American cars older than the average inhabitant are a common sight on city streets, panel beater Pablo Manso makes his living in a very particular niche: repairing Chevrolets from 1955, 1956 and 1957. The self-taught technician plies his trade in a workshop he built 15 years ago at his home in Placetas, a small city in the rural center of the communist island.
