Julieta

While searching for Homero, another '48 Chevrolet appeared. It was blue, in very poor condition, and most people saw it as a run-down, lifeless car. It belonged to a woman in Vedado whose son, who lived in Europe, had put it up for sale online. Despite its condition, I saw its potential and knew I could return it to its original state, although many parts had been replaced with Russian adaptations.

The restoration process wasn't easy, but that's the most exciting part. I found original pieces like the instrument panel, the dashboard clocks, and the factory dashboard, restoring its authenticity piece by piece.

We also decided to change its color from blue to an elegant sandy beige, the same shade as another Chevrolet we had used for weddings and that bore the name Romeo. If we had a Romeo, this car had to be named Juliet, a tribute to the classic love story. Julieta is not just a restored '48 Chevrolet, but a reflection of patience, dedication, and the certainty that, with the right work, any forgotten car can recover its essence and shine again.
