Cuba says it's opening its automobile market by eliminating a special permit that strictly limited the number of people allowed to buy vehicles from the state, official media said Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013. The government has a monopoly on the sale of imported new and used vehicles, and has required any potential buyer to obtain a special card from the Transport Ministry authorizing the purchase of a car.
