1958 Cadillac Floater

Work by Cuban artist Esterio Segura. The retro sled must’ve been in pretty sad shape to do that to it. At least he could have painted it yellow.

Crimean ‘Coon

Translated from Bulgarian via Google Translate:
“The largest miniature park is located in a picturesque place of Bakhchisaray in Crimea.
The area occupied by the park is 2.5 hectares, and the ‘Miniture Crimea’ includes 57 main architectural and historically important monuments. All objects are represented in a 1:25 scale. There is also a zoo on the territory of the park, see in the photos of ‘Reuters’ how the animals are having fun.”

Luchadores del Espacio (con Space Bimbos)

Sci-Fi pulp novels Sinister Void and Captives of Space by Joe Bennett (José Luis Benet Sanchís) with cover art by José Luis (José Luis Macías) circa 1958. Via Google Translate:

“Do you think it’s possible to remedy the chaotic situation in which the ‘vagaspaces’ of the uranium spaceship live?
Alone in the infinite Universe, surrounded by dangers and condemned to ‘brain death’, the anguish acquires a high degree of tension on each page. Science and futuristic fantasy. Situations that you will not be able to endure without being upset because SINISTER VOID is the title that all true lovers of fantasy literature were anxiously awaiting.”
