A photographer has documented classic American cars in Cuba in a remarkable ten year project.

New York-based photographer Jeffrey Milstein's gallery of vehicles show off the amazing designs of automobiles that have had to stand the test of time thanks to an embargo on new American cars.

Jeffrey is now working on a book entitled Cubamerican: 100 American cars in Cuba.

He explains: "When you arrive in Cuba one of the first things you notice upon exiting the terminal at Havana International Airport are the antique American cars parked outside. It's like you have gone back in time. For me the cars bring back childhood memories of a more innocent era."
