I'm betting that the 1950's car collectors clubs will be dead set against it.

The value of their collections will tank...

No problem, none of them are original, most have at least the motor parts replaced to run on piss-poor gas, and they'd be a good body parts source.
Let the annexation begin.

au contraire, mon frere. Check out this recent editorial

Quote:
New federal legislation would allow American citizens to travel as freely to Cuba as they do to Canada and Mexico. The bills will need plenty of cosponsors and public support to get through Congress.
Among those welcoming the idea is Philadelphia-based urban planner and antique-car expert Rick Shnitzler. He has proposed a "taillight diplomacy" that would bring together the sleeping giant in U.S.-Cuban relations: old-car aficionados in both countries.
Shnitzler envisions antique-car buffs and their families traveling to Cuba, meeting their counterparts, and donating the spare parts needed to facilitate the repair and restoration of Cuba's aging fleet.

The Cuban owners of those cars can sell them, but they have been declared a national treasure and are not allowed to leave the island.
