The cars, if imported, would have to meet certain US safety standards regardless of when they were made. On an island where you are no more than 50 miles from the ocean, I can imagine the rust is everywhere in those cars, so a bit of removal would be needed at the minimum. I remember transiting through GITMO on my way out to the ship in 2000, and even the steel door frames at the air terminal were eaten up by rust. Humidity+salt air+temperature, and you've got all the makings.

Cheers,
