This one has me stumped. I initially thought it was a Studebaker Champion wagon... but it isn't. A 1954 Champion wagon looks like this:
And it's definitely not a Mercedes in spite of the 3 pointed star on the wheels.
Volvo? Nope.
Something Russian?
EDIT... I figured this one out... a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Station Wagon just like this one below:
Though the one in Cuba is missing some trim that goes above the headlights, the crest between the two grills and the trim that goes along the side.

1955 Chrysler Town & Country. Definitely.

Hmmm... Now I'm looking at the differences between the Town and Country and the New Yorker wagon I subsequently found.

More likely a combo of Russian car or truck parts. Didn't see many Hyundais... and the ones I saw were Sonatas just like you see in Canada and the USA.

I checked out the Studebaker Commander, but that wasn't it either. But after lots of searching (because it was really nagging at me) I figured it out as being a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker wagon.

Damn it, it took so long to find out what the ornament was I was last to the line.

Yeah... it completely threw me off because with the Cuban example missing the chrome, I was thinking 'old Volvo' or 'Studebaker'. It didn't look like a Chrysler.

I was searching Russian cars, then I finally found the hood ornament on Flickr but the German guy who posted the image hadn't said/didn't know what it was but gave me a lead to look for eagles, and who like eagles, American car companies like eagles especially in the 1950s when it was predominantly either winged, a rocket or an eagle.

I once had a taxi ride in a Bel Air in Cuba with a Toyota minivan engine. It was awesome.

Can't be a Studebaker. They didn't have a 4-door wagon until 1957, when they looked completely different.

It's a New Yorker Town & Country. But the chrome trim, emblem, and side trim are long gone.
The car I posted was a Windsor Town & Country, which had slightly different trim.
