Event Coverage Sweden,Dalsland,Mellerud.

Thanks Mike,,yes it was great.

 

Thanks for the pics and ride. I find so many nice cars over there that HAMBers post. Truly a zeal for the cars. Are there many early cars/hot rods 20s/30s?

 

You are welcome @48fordnut

 

Thanks for the pics J Hansen, great selection of cool cars,,,,

Check out the A Bombers Old Style Weekend, absolute blast and the cars you’re looking for.

 

My latest thread from A-Bombers was 2019
Search for Devils Peak Uddevalla!
I do not know how to post a link!

 

Is this the ‘really big’ show I’ve heard about?

 

Thanks for pictures. Another good show.

 

A-Bombers Old Style Weekend is big in Sweden anyway

 

Nice lot of cars.

 

Look here

 

I like the Pontiacs and that 58 Impala is nice as well.

 

@fyrffytr1
Yes,really nice cars.

 

Visited Mellerud,probably last time this year.

 

Do you have to convert them to right hand drive??

 

No?

 

As a Swede myself who has never been to the homeland I enjoy these pictures immensely. Thank you! I need to get there for A-Bombers Weekender! Dale Seaholm(Sjoholm)

 

Thanks for posting the pictures! I too am Swedish but never been there. I tried in 2020 but COVID canceled it. When I plan another trip I hope to hit this show or another one. When I was a child I heard my grandparents talk about Dalsland, Bohuslan and Munkedal. In 1949 my grandparents and father traveled to Sweden for a month, they brought a brand new 1949 Chevy with them on the boat. They left it in Sweden. I always look at these pictures of car shows in Sweden and look for a 1949 Chevy. Maybe it lived and is still running in Sweden
Anyways thanks again for taking time to post this thread!

 

I think you would like the A-Bomber Weekend,Mr Sjöholm.

 

I`m going to keep my eyes open for a -49 Chevy

 

HA HA! NICE PHOTOS JAN

 

One of my uncles owned this model in 'triple silver', IIRC, a silver vinyl top, silver paint and of course silver leather interior, incredible cars!!!

 

Thanks @nunattax

 

@Cosmo49 Do you have any pics of your uncle`s car?

 

Sorry, it was 60 years ago! I do remember opening up the rear door and
the smell of that leather and the ride of that car was incredible!

Although, it is a rough comparison as my dad's car at the time was a 50 Plymouth two door with a rusted out floor on the rear passenger side. My sister and I disposed of candy wrappers at least once and my grandfather had his rubber overshoe removed by that hole one wintry day bringing him home from church.

 

There is "some" difference in a Plymouth and an Imperial!

 

I was wondering where all the American cars went...

 

Ha Ha,you probably have a few million left

 

Hansen,
Those are some of the most beautiful examples of old American cars ,,,Thank you .
They seem immaculate,,,,,,well cared for and I’m sure treasured by the owners .
They are from an era when high end American cars were built big,,,,heavy ,,,,and chromed to the max .
Gorgeous,,,,,and taken care of in Sweden,,,,I would have enjoyed seeing more pics of those .
Great job !

Tommy

 

Thank you Tommy.
Yes the most owners take of their cars,if you think these cars are expensive in the US of A,,,,,,add about 100% here in Sweden!
I`m thinkin of buying this 1959 Dodge Coronet Lancer.
But they are asking for 45800 dollar,,,,,,,,,
