1954 Chevrolet Bel Air

'Teatro Karl Marx' in La Habana - Miramar (1949), formerly known as the 'Teatro Blanquita' and 'Charles Chaplin', and renamed after the Cuban Revolution of 1959. The venue has an enormous auditorium, with seating capacity of 5500 people (8000 people in total), and is generally used for big shows by stars from Cuba and abroad. In 2001, the theatre was the scene of a concert by the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers, which was attended by President Fidel Castro himself. On being warned by the band that they would be playing very loud, Castro responded, "You cannot be louder than war!". - In the foreground a Chevrolet Bel Air, about 1954, built five years after the theater ;-)
