Degler's 2015 calendar pays tribute to Cuba's unique automotive landscape

The 2014 Degler calendar mounted on the wall of the Car Design News office serves up a nicely-shot image of one of Bertone's significant concepts each month. But next year's calendar has taken an altogether different direction: 'Carros de Cuba - a tribute to the cars that have survived over half a century on the island thanks to the inventiveness of the Cuban people.'

The Degler calender is the work of automotive photographer Piotr Degler Jablonski. For the 2015 edition, he spent a month traveling across the island of Cuba, meeting mechanics and car enthusiasts and documenting the eye-catching automotive landscape.

While the images he has selected for the calendar look intriguing - particularly the barn-find Mercedes 300SL - he assures us that the pictures are "natural, with no forced elements placed in the frame for the occasion, everything happened by chance, natural colors, unretouched photographs, the picture shows respectfully the reality as it is."

The new calendar is available to purchase from www.degler.com, with prices starting at €65 (around $84 or £52).
