I think the must be getting parts now, judging by the condition of some of them.

Because they are owned by the government and then leased out to the Taxi drivers most have been set-up with diesel engines. You can see this in a lot of examples cause the wheels don't fit properly around the body openings. Some hardtops have had the roof cut off and made into convertibles. A lot of the classics hang around Havana.

Now that the U.S. and Cuba have shook hands, I would expect that a lot (including these old cars) is going to change.
