Hi the prommissed land called sweden, thats where i lay my rubber. trying too build some cool rides now and then. The budget is often somewhere down the clogs,(sorry for my bad english). Beacause of that the cars isn´t allways from america. Like my girls volvo 121 in the pics. Allso got a -55 Packard but its waitin for its time. My own ride is an old citroen b11 whit volvo engine and gear, cheap as hell.looks a bit like -33 ford but still not.The style is like this. Firestone whites,dark grey primer whit copper pearl scallops and some pinstriping. I don´t allways build whit the "right"stuff like 97 strombergs or 39 teardrops or whatever, i take what i could get and makes it "right".
Welcome!! Nice Amazon, I really like how you chopped it! Do you have any pics from when you made it? Mikael
Välkommen! Nice Amazon! Would you consider it being the first Scandinavian "muscle" car? It even looks a little (grille etc) like the first American muscle car '55 C-300
autin,beekin,baaken, boken...... I have no idea, but I am swedish according to my pops! seriously, welcome J-Gilmore
Thanks you all. looked at jannes homepage, saw some realy nice drawings of packards. want to get started whit our -55 custom clipper soon. saw you had a nice drawing of jari Savolainens old merc to.
Youre right AngRi, the amazon and the 300 has a lot in common, The Volvo concern must have taken some ideas from chrysler when the first amazon came in -57. I have by the way mounted the front bumper on the amazon now, lookes a little "heavyer" now.Will also paint a set of 14"mustang steelies in same purple as the car. Pics will come soon.
