sally bogna mathay Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 bongga ung escolta dati ah ...parang the fort dati or greenbelt ng mga tatay natin nice, looks like today's havana, cuba where several models of american cars circa 19402-70s still roam the streets. notice the taxi at the back crossing the intersection? that looks like a mercedes benz 180. the second car on the left behind the wooden panelled willys all purpose vehicle (i think) looks like a packard, while the one in the iddle of the street approaching the camera seems to be a mercury. galing! keep them coming. used to have a 1955 chevy bel-air myself.
