Cuban Volante |
|
A CUBAN VOLANTE: This vehicle, formerly so common in all West Indian cities, is now used only for the accommodation of travelers on the island highways. Though ungainly in appearance, it is an exceedingly comfortable conveyance for long journeys. Photograph shows the postillion on the wheel horse, and coach boy in the rear. (Cuba, 1898; this is the inspiration for the famous Volante sports cars.) Click here to enlarge. |
