As you can see in the numbers over imported cars from US to Sweden year 2014 Sweden got 3018 new vintage cars.
Chevrolet and Ford has always battled about being the biggest. And those two are also the two most imported brands last year.
2014 Sweden got 745 new old cars and Ford is the runner up with 513.
For Sweden the currency to US dollar is terrible at the moment and this as a direct effect to the import.
Sweden also got more competition now from other countries. I just to be Australia, New Zeeland and Germany that also love cars from US.
Now also South America, Canada, Russia, Netherland, Ukraine want to buy cars from US.
Internet makes the world smaller and the low value of the Swedish krona makes cars very cheap at the moment for a outside buyer so I'm sure we going to have a lot of car hunters here soon.
