In reply to:I don't understand, delfarmer. Will you please explain? Maybe I should give you some context. The author was talking of how cars in Cuba have their own story to tell about the history of the nation and the after effects of the American embargo on trade.
Maybe so, but I don't really need the context. It can't be a sentence, I think because it lacks a main verb, no? Suggested alterations:
"The streets are littered withAncient Plymouths with suicide doors that operated away from the center post like hard covers from a book's spine."
-or-
Ancient Plymouths were designed with suicide doors that operated away from the center post like hard covers from a book's spine."
