The trio -- Luis Grass, his wife Isora and their 4-year-old son, Angel Luis -- were among 11 Cubans who tried to cross the Florida Straits last week in a boat made from a green 1959 Buick automobile.

Ya gotta love it!

I just wish the Coast Guard wouldn't sink these hybrid vessels. If anything should go into the Smithsonian- it's these old Detroit vintage autos that have been turned into 'freedom boats' to help someone escape oppression and come to a free country.

In my opinion, they are just as important as the lunar capsules and should be preserved (well, within reason).

That antique truck... Man, think about that truck. Made when quality really, really mattered. Tough, rugged. Sent off to Cuba for decades. Finally, it finds itself on the open sea. What must that truck have been thinking? 'I'm going home!!! I'm going back to America!!! I'm not supposed to swim but I'm doing it by God- I'm going home!!!'

And what did we do? Sunk it. That thing should've went in a Freedom Museum somewhere so statists, socialists, Greens etc could look at it and marvel over how much people hate their system.

I Love these Guys!! They show perseverance, tenacity, intelligence, and ingenuity. I think they would make great Americans. They are welcome in my neighborhood any day.
