Summer is getting closer and a lot of the guys that have a car on the roll just want to get it on the road and get out and visit all the weekly meetings or cruising that's going on around Sweden every weekend. We really like to meet you all out there and check out your cars. I enjoy writing Across the Border for Worldkustom and all the feedback I get from all over the world, mainly Sweden, US and Russia. The hobby really is worldwide and through our trips around the world we often hear people talking about the little country far up north with all the US cars from the 30-70 and they are daily driven cars. Impressing. Most of the cars gets here directly but some take the trip through Netherlands were it is a bit easier to get some cars through the custom. But it doesn't matter as long as we fill up our stock of old American cars in Sweden!
Pretty Lisa from Wilhelmina picked up her new Oldsmobile Eighty Eight from 1950. She found the car on ebay, located in Sacramento and after
waiting for months, it finally came to Sweden. She had a big smile on her face driving it up to Wilhelmina far up north of Sweden without a working heating system in the car..
Buick Wildcat Hardtop Coupe 1963 in mint condition got a new home in Karlstad Sweden. The new owner is working as a car painter but he do not need to do any work on the paint on this beauty.
A family outside Eksjö have been looking a long time for a good Chevy from the fifties and at last the joy hit them. Chevrolet was the first to make 4 door hardtops 1956, they did well and sold as many as 103 602 cars of just the top line Bel Air model. Sweden got 64 new 1956 Chevys the last two years.
