Cuban migrants sail in Buick boat intercepted near Florida
Eleven Cubans attempting to reach Florida in a 1950s Buick converted into a floating boat were intercepted by the Coast Guard off Marathon near the Florida Keys and will be sent back to Cuba. The group included two men who earlier tried a similar stunt with a 1950s Chevy pickup, now sealed to keep water out and powered by a V eight engine.
