70-year-old Gilberto Ruiz sits at the wheel of his modified 1948 Ford in Havana July 12, 2012. Gilberto, who was unemployed, with a big family to support and his permit to use his car as a private-licensed taxi had expired, literally welded himself a new job and cut up his sedan turning it into a pick-up truck to work in the private transport bussiness.
