Here is a great web site with lots of pics http://cubanclassics.blogspot.ca/
Good pictures there and I think I see the yellow 52 Merc convertible that was in the documentary. It still runs on the original engine. Looks like the bumperettes and park lights are missing but otherwise not bad. $35 an hour for a ride in it.
