About Cuban Chrome

Cuban Chrome is a reality TV series that premiered on Discovery on July 13, 2015. It has 1 season and 8 episodes so far and is still airing new episodes. The latest episode, Season 1 Episode 8 "The Road to Restoration", aired on August 31, 2015.

After the 1959 Cuban Revolution and the subsequent United States embargo, it has been illegal to import American cars to the island nation - as a result, Cuba's vintage American vehicles are frozen in time, and each of these cars has a unique story to tell. For Cubans, these cars are not just a means of transportation, but a way of life. CUBAN CHROME will give viewers an intimate look into this rarely seen country as they meet the men who put everything on the line to keep these classic cars running. Through A Lo Cubano Car Club - a passionate group of car enthusiasts, restorers, mechanics and apprentices - the series explores the challenges and joys of life in Cuba, presenting an authentic look into their culture of passion, grit, determination and ingenuity.
