Yank Tank

Having looked at unique personalities of Cuba that would clearly represent the company 2 jumped out at me the most, the first was Cuban Cigars and the second is what you can see here called Yank Tanks.

Yank Tanks are basically vintage American cars that were brought to Cuba before the revolution when America did business with Cuba, after the revolution the business between Cuba and the states stopped, so therefore no new cars / car parts could be imported. So since this point the same vintage cars have remained throughout Cuba and are being kept running by Do It Yourself Cuban mechanics who have ingenious ways of maintaining these old cars.

Visually all these cars look incredible, my actual idea was to try to and create a unique set / series of Bacardi bottles that are the shape of various different yank tanks that are commonly found around Cuba, This would be quite a tricky product to produce mock ups and individually create what the final product would be, but instead would be more of a proposal as it would need specialist production, as i don't at this point even know if it would be possible to produce car shaped glass bottles.
