Back in Sweden for a few weeks during what is supposed to be summer... Cold, raining and often quite windy. Not much of a summer for me!
BUT!!! One of the absolute highlights of the swedish summer in Dalarna for the last 8 years has been the Classic Car Week in Rättvik, and so also this year! On the Tuesday evening of CCW the cruising is the most spectacular event, with around 1000 veteran cars driving through the small town of Rättvik. I have been driving my buddy's Chevrolet El Camino '74 for 6 cruising runs, and one year his brother Ford Mustang from the late 60's.
But this year my buddy Göran had a "new" car: an Oldsmobile Cutlass from 1975. It's a "big block" car, with an engine delivering about 350 horsepowers!!! Automatic... lots of sheet metal, nice emerald green!!! Unfortunately I haven't taken a picture of it yet, but I will post that later.
Below are some cars from the cruise...
Bel Air... similar but not exactly the same... The first one has a glass roof-top...
A Cadillac 1941... It sure needs some body paint work, but it was one of the real old-timers of the show!!!
Not all veteran cars are bulky!!! A real Mini...
Some of the cars are "homebrews"... I'm not sure about the origin of this one...
Another homebrew... with beautiful paintwork!!!!
Another nice paint job...
Rättvik is a small town, but there should really be enough space for everyone... not having to park your cars this tightly....
