CUBA T-34 tanks and automobiles

Dwight Peterson says: "If the Cubans can keep all of those beautiful 1950 & 1960 automobiles running smoothly on their roads all these years, one can only assume that  their T-34 tanks are in mint mechanical condition". RH: A TV program took us on a tour of Havana. There were vintage cars everywhere, but I did not see a single poster of Castro. It may have been a coincidence. And, of course, no tanks.
