thanks nass another masterpiece! as a antique \ muscle car restorer for 45 years. i love to see vids of the old cars when they were new! keep the vids coming my friend.
You do fantastic work but this is a step above. Looks better than my then “state of the art 8mm “ videos from the 90’s. What a restoration. Your videos are liketime machine experiences. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful! Wonderful to watch this. I wish there was a contemporary video following the same route to see what's changed and what is still the same. I have always yearned to visit this city and perhaps I still can, but I'm a little too old and broken down to do the kind of exploration that I would like to do.
I would call this video “The Havana Wall” El Malecón de La Habana” The construcción seen at the distance are La Cabania / La Cabaña ,the Spaniard fort in the 18 Century.Casa Blanca imitating the Marrocan city and the Morro,that used to show the lights to ships. Ahh, this beautiful sea and the clean and fresh air . This footage was a pleasant surprise for me of the old times of the biggest island of the beautiful Caribbean sea.Thanks!👏👏❤️❤️
Interesting to see the docks where ships onload coal such as a 2:48. I suspect the coal was used for generating electricity and fueling the steam locomotives pulling passenger and freight trains at this time.
Great work, amazing to see what it was like compared to today. What was with the drivers back then, the 3 cars driving side by side blocking traffic!! lol
Eighty years ago! Maybe a kid or two in the video is still alive. Sadly, they had to endure the Castros. I was there in 2018 and rode down the Malecon in a 1954 Dodge Royal convertible. Who knows what was under the hood. Also visited the fortified Castle of the Three Kings of Morro on the other side of the strait. Many old cars are still running. Havana is a photographer's dream with 60-70 year-old faded paint.
Yeah sad that they had to endure The Communists who...oh yeah they eliminated illiteracy, ended the rapacious extraction of resources, made Cuban society among the least racist countries, gave its people healthcare. If only we could go back to the days where guys like Muchado and Batista took orders from American gangsters
I get your point. But EVERY Caribbean "paradise" you can name...Antigua, Curacao, Aruba, St Maarten, Bermuda...3 blocks away from the beach/promenade deal are devastating slums.
"veryone looks well fed and dressed, no ramshackle hovels, nice cars." - maybe what you are watching is a deception. Maybe the original film was a highly selected view of Cuba, and now this channel just distorts those images even more.
@@alanpecherer5705 Presently those places you named are probably crapholes too, but Im talking about how Cuba looked 80 years ago. Point being, Cuba was nice before the communists took over, but you purposely overlook that glaring fact. You must be a bot because your comment shows a lack of reasoning.
The hubris of one man destroyed this, while trying to destroy the hubris of another man, who protected the hubris of other men, and in that chain we lost this Cuba. Cuba would have been the Rome of the Caribbean. My grandmother, whom I constantly search for in these clips, and would have been a teenager, used to love chatting about how Cuba was the first place in Latin America to get the color television, for what its worth. Cuba is still a treasure, if only for the people that live there, who have had to make sacrifices their entire lives through no fault of their own.
@@TheDanEdwards All of them. The only person involved in 20th cent. Cuban history who had the Cuban people at heart was Camilo Cienfuegos, and he was disappeared.
Cuando los cubanos eran felices, tenian sueños y podian lograrlos !! Hoy todo destruido, por un regimen y un emperador elegido por nadie, ,y que no necesitaban ser elegidos por el pueblo. Por Cuba Libre !
Avenida del Puerto y Canal de entrada a la Bahía de La Habana, Fortaleza de la Cabaña (1763-1774); paseantes, US marines y niños jugando béisbol; Castillo de la Punta (1589-1610) [en los años cuarenta, cuando se filmaron estas vistas, era el Estado Mayor de la Marina de Guerra cubana]; Castillo del Morro (1589-1630), y paseo del Malecón (1901-1957); yo. Gracias.
Back when it was a Republic. Great video. Before the tunnel was built. When Cubans didn’t immigrate actually and Americans moved to Cuba 😉. Our foreign policy and lack of world leadership caused and causes the destruction of our Latin American neighbors. This is why we can’t be isolationist. We are the leaders of the free world and should act that way. Castro should have been overthrown April of 1961 or even before, Eisenhower did nothing from 1959 to 1960 and everybody knows what happened at the Bay of Pigs in 1961 😞.
Что вы привязались к коммунистам? Америка все сделала для того, чтобы изолировать Кубу от прочего мира. Бесконечные санкции, зависимость от Америки. Хорошо, что эта зависимость кончилась, Куба найдет выход из положения, не беспокойтесь больше о ее судьбе.

Near to the latest models in Cuba.
I wonder which ones aren't running today.

Great cars indeed

Wow the quality is amazing! If it weren’t for all the vintage clothes and machinery I would have thought this film was taken recently. Amazing work!
Thx!! ;))
Unfortunately, for this film to look recent you need to have huge "Socialism or Death' banners every 3 miles.
Finally my city in this channel. I've been wishing for this since I discovered nass. Thank you
Pretty amazing! I would love to see more of La Habana Remastered. Thanks for your work....
Thx!!!
thanks nass another masterpiece! as a antique \ muscle car restorer for 45 years. i love to see vids of the old cars when they were new! keep the vids coming my friend.

Are these fortresses, or part of them still standing in 2024 Havana???
When i was in Havana in 2007, it looked exactly the same. Same cars, too!
Cuba in pre Castro times
Quando eram felizes e não sabiam!
Back then Cuba was far better than it is now.
Eso fué Cuba antes de llegar -SAT_ANÁS Fidel Castro.

Looks like a Mediterranean holiday destination....back then.
Fish jump 5:54. I am a time travel tourist!😃
Boy, Cuba looked a LOT better back then than it does now!!!
Eso decía la mafia de Chicago.
because you do not see the slaves and the oppression in this video?
Great work, amazing to see what it was like compared to today. What was with the drivers back then, the 3 cars driving side by side blocking traffic!! lol
O MAIS INCRÍVEL É QUE AINDA HOJE MUITOS DESSES MODELOS DE AUTOMÓVEIS AINDA CIRCULAM POR LÁ!!!
Thank you for making these video's.

@@fratzogmopars Maybe you just don't know much about history, or the history of photography, and how images/films can be highly propagandistic.
Love the start to this video shown the 4 cars and the colour is so great the seafront so clean great
Thanks
Thank you
Cuba was beautiful in 1940
thanks . beautiful. when Cuba was freedom
Nass, Cool another fabulous upload from you! This is Cuba in 1940's but you still see cars like this in present day Cuba. Thanks for the upload.
Hi!! thank you very much
Thanks to the sanctions against international law by the rogue state of usa.
Another gem! Thanks NASS!
thank you very much ;)
Cuba is very beautiful.
WAS very beautiful!
GREAT VIDEO SUPER NASS BIG SUPPORT FROM CROATIA
Thx bro!!
The forts are so extensive, I must learn more.
What software do you use for the film restoration?
Several techniques!
This is one of your finest yet
Thx!!! ^^
NASS! , Thanks for posting this video
Very wonderful to see. Have visited Cuba several times and enjoyed it very much.
Muito obrigado, ótimo vídeo 💗💗💗💖💖👍
Saludos desde cubainda esa bahia limpia y azul como el cielo ahora oscura como la noche gracias por el video 😢
Great video NASS.
Did you add the color? It is perfect.
yes!!
Increíble, si televisan estos vídeos, mueren de infarto mucha gente, es más no lo pueden creer.
Cuando no había llegado la mano destructora de los Castro a la Isla.
С того времени машины и не поменялись😅
Cuba has the most American cars predating 1950 still on the road.
Эти машины до сих пор катаются
Looks better then, before communism.
Cubans loved those day until Castro did the coup
Comunismo é igual religião. Não evoluem.
Вы вероятно хотели сказать, до американских санкций? 😅 Ничего, все наладится наследниками Фиделя. А для вас Куба была потеряна навсегда.
The car on the far left was Ricky Ricardo driving home from “the club.”
Maybe not much has changed since!
80년 전과 지금이 똑같은 나라.
What a pity! Havana was a cosmopolitan city back then.
I wonder how do you post these if we can't time travel back lol. Please ask.
you want to be there a slave owned by usa-aliens?

The colors on the Cuban flag in the castle are wrong. That’s Puerto Rico’s flag. 😮
I see the same design old world streetlights in all cities around the world.

Nothing has changed... Or rather, the city is in ruins today, according to the videos I saw on RUclips
communism
Судя по вышкам, сотовая связь уже была😂
Anyone have a ton of footage of Phoenix, Arizona?
The Malecon
Хороша была Куба до леваков
Okay, patched up tarmac... Damn how old is tarmac?

The Godfather II vibe
Way before Castro...
Was that young Fidel sitting with his mommy on the wall at 3:00? (joke)
Bad old days.
👍👍❤❤
А где Гавана?
When they were free...👍
bro more like 2020
Cuba was beter than now
To think how Fidel Castro managed to mangle this beautiful island

The time of the colonised Cuba with slaves and very rich aliens.
btw: Thank you Fidel and Che.
Just Like Inconsiderate Road Hog Drivers Of Today, Only At A SLOWER Speed...
How dreary….
Wow como está ahora Cuba 😢
