A taste of summer in Sweden...
Every wednesday evening there's a gathering of cars at the locks in Trollhättan close to where I live. I went there last week and enjoyed a few hours of cartalking and icecream. The Porsche content this evening was pretty low, only 3 cars including my own but as you'll see in the pictures there plenty of variety with a strong flavor from the US as many Swedes love classic american cars.
This nice -88 targa is owned by Torbjörn in the striped shirt who's talking 911 to Pontus in black who drives a nice -92 928 GTS.
Nice early Saab "pearhalf"
Nicely restored Karmann-Ghia
Opel Kadett Ralley
Cant be Sweden without a Volvo
Caddy of some sort (I'm no good at these cars so please enlighten me)
Alfa Romeo
DeSoto?
My favorite design of all the classic americans!
Ford GT kitcar
As I said, the Swedes love old american cars !

I guess! Nicer collection than you'd see at a lot of American shows.
Trollhättan makes me think of SAAB, which makes me a little weepy.
I'm hanging onto my 900 NG, as a relic of what may soon no longer be. :*(

Unfortunatly most swedish hotties seems to avoid old american cars and drift more towards the pokemon-car-scene.

Beautiful cars, and so nice to see the love for old "foreign" cars is universal.
There is a great film called "Yank Tanks" which is about the Cubans keeping their 1950s American cars running with a trade embargo and no spare parts.
