Event Coverage My trip to Sweden 2019

I decided in my older years to visit Sweden since I had several friends I have met over the years when they came to the states.
I decided to Make my visit during the “Classic CarWeek” in Rattvik this is a small town of about 5,000 that will have about 100,000 visit over the week. If you have ever wondered what happened to the cars you grew up with in the 50’s and 60’s this where they are. I will post a few from my phone and perhaps more from my computer once I return to the states. The 67 Caddy was the ride I had while visiting my friends Daniel and Henric .Enjoy!!

Thanks for the pics.Looks like they love the US convertibles and their Summer would be very short to get the most out of them.

 

I need to go back to A-Bombers weekend again one day, went over from UK for the 2007 event, and its bloody brilliant

 

Thanks GeeRam we are mapping out the rest of our visit now. I will have stories to tell to the boys in the states when I return.
It was a great time so far.

Thanks. The Sweds seem to love Americana. CheaterPete inspired me with his hot rod build and vids on YT

 

Cool cars, small beers !

 

I attended for the first (but definately not the last) time to the FANTASTIC event A-bombers Oldstyle Weekend.

Everything where perfect;
Sunny weather (~30 degrees Celsius), wonderful people, cold beer, warm coffee, live bands and hundreds of the coolest rides in northern Europe.
Even a small swap meet.

Saturday there was a hillclimb race about two Swedish miles north, with both rods and old bikes. (Harleys and some BSA.)
Some spontaneous cruising convoy to the hillclimbsite.

THIS is the event that will help me get through the upcoming winter!


Some pics while i try to figure out how to post videos from the hillclimb event:

This is one sick, supercharged hellride!



This one rode off the road in race one, but got back race two.

 

Neat stuff,thanks for posting.

 

Just curious, what’s the cost of some of these cars or builds compared to the states?

I believe we have quite the same pricing here in Sweden, even in some cases cheaper!

We have "Blocket", https://www.blocket.se/ , i think it´s similar to Craigslist in the US?

For the showpainted, all-chrome hardware, V8 kind you´ll pay about 25-35 grand.

For the restored original, turn key Tudor -29 you´ll have to pay about $12-15.000.
I get my US pricing input from TV-shows like "Fast and Loud", so i might be well off....

Where's Mangus? Richard Rawlings' friend! And what the heck's a Pizza Kabab? I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

-Well, mr. Butch....
Kebab Pizza is the best thing since baby Jesus invented beer in cans. Especially if you get the Kebab Pizza topped off with fries and garlic sauce.
Regarding Fast&Loud-Magnus: His business "Lonestarcars" http://www.lonestarcars.se/ are located in the deep south of Sweden, a one hour drive from my place.

Now, go get yourself a Pizza Kebab with some Swedish beer, dude!

 

Pretty sure you don't want to see a Swedish beach 2019.. The rumor about nice girls is long time ago gone... What you see today is 250 LBS ladys with snus=tobacco under the lip, or bathing women in full cover black dresses.. Called burka.. So better you come over to see our car events.. And please do, there is a lot of hospitality and nice people here.We just love our US brothers..
