Swedish car show me and my rod was there!

This weekend it was Sweden's biggest car show (but absolutely not the best) and it was time to show my car for the first time.

Here is where truck was placed quite cool spot



This is before the show started thats why its not much people in the pic, next day it was 24 000 people and after 4 days 76 000 people had seen the show



Next to John DÀgostinos car

 

Scandinavians have GOOD taste in HOT RODS,Your Truck looks FUCKIN' cool! I'd like to make the trip to Sweden/Scandinavia in my Coupe once I finish the Damn thing.I've read about your runs in Rolls'n'Pleats and they look worth the trip.
Great pics.Lets have somemore.

 

Looking good!! Was there any other interesting cars this year? We thought of going, but dropped it the last couple of years there have been too few interesting cars there making it worth thr drive from Norway

 

There where a lot sound system and Japanese cars with a cold this year, so not mush to see but here are some more pics









And this car that everyone talked about, an ugly piece in my eyes

 

Nice to see some new rides! Is the Sam Barris Merc lookalike the Merc that Ulf chopped on the Custom Motor Show the year that George Barris was there?

 

Yes its that one I think its owned by Dywring the guy who writhes in Classic bilsport.

 

what was the name of this show? was local hot rod brand DePalma there?

 

Damn man, what a cool hot rod, and a great display!! I was hoping to be a girls bicycle seat in my next incarnation, but I'm now thinking Swedish hot rodder. You cats rule!!-Sololobo

 

not that i didn't get anything else out of this thread, but japanese cars with a cold, that's funny!

 

Tinwolf,let's see more of the Merc please.

 

Somehow the rebel flag has become a symbol for american cars and the lifestyle connected to them over here...
I'm not really sure if it's the "rebel" name that stuck, the hillbilly lifestyle or slave politics that caused this. It could possibly be pure esthetics, it is alot better looking than the yankee flag...

 

I second that!!
I first thought it was a clone of the Sam Barris Merc, but at a second look I see it has another grille bar, no bumper guards, and the original "dog leg" on the door, also no fadeaway fenders! Same color and stance, and one hell of a nice kustom

 

Perhaps the Dukes of Hazzard had something to do with that trend??

Anyway, there were some cool cars in that show, thanks for posting.

 

Actually I think it has something to do with teddyboys and rockabillys back in the old days, and the rumble they were having against eachother... The Rebel flag is heavily used by teddyboy bands in europe...

 

love the truck!! seen reports of some shows in custom car and there are some awesome hardcore rods over there

one day I'll go over to Sweden again

 

AAhhhhhhh,
that roadster with the nosebleed frontend gave me the chills..
any more pic's of it ?

I have a colleague from Malmo, be here tomorrow for a couple days,
I will ask him if he went to that show.

The show is called Custom motor show it is in Jönköping Elmia and I didn't saw DePalma but I there where a lot of DePalma skirts

 

It is owned by my buddy, its not finished yet but its drivable, he will have an own car show in I think in April, go ask your boss if you can go here next time say April suites me fine





And a pic from last year

 

Sending a 46 Chevy coupe to Sweden in April.......

 

So did you guys build the shed as well??? Great display!

 

I really like your truck. Do you have any more pics of the tudor next to the roadster?

 

Only this picture taken 2 years ago, but before that it had a blower sorry dont have any pics on that but it was really cool

 

No the show crew did that, they called me and asked if I could place my car there, perhaps they thought that it would match the others. There where also 2 guys and 2 girls dressed in 50 clothes walked and false tinker with the cars in the display.
