Springtime. the snow has melted away and the summer birds are back from Africa. All boring news on radio etc is gone when sun is up and you take your wheels for a spin.
Import to Sweden has resign a bit because of the US dollar exchange. But if you find the car of your dream you don't care about the currency... The kickback could be that some cars go the other way over the border from Sweden.
So don't be surprise if someone outside Sweden contact you if you have an ad out. But have in mind there are some bad ass out there trying to rip you of. So make sure you got your hands on the money before you ship your car.
I been driving a couple of miles with my car this year and it is a great feeling to see thumbs up from other people on the road. And guys, support your local car club, we have to stand together to all stupid ideas the politics come up with.
Start up your engines and see you out on the roads.
On the mid west coast of Sweden you find this nice Oldsmobile Super Eighty Eight Four-Door Holiday Hardtop Station Wagon 1957 they made just 8981 of this model. One of the most wanted stations wagons. In Sweden we only have a few of them. 2013 and 2014 Sweden got 16 Olds -57 but no one was a Wagon. A lot of readers have this one on their Wanted list!
Up to north and Kiruna is the home of this Plymouth Cuda Two Door Hardtop Coupe 5P 1971 made in 6228 ex. The last two years Sweden only got 1 car exactly like this one, and that one had the 383 engine. This new One have the 440 6 barrel whit 390 horsepower. To company the other 3 we already got in the country exactly like this one.
Pontiac Bonneville Convertible 1968 parked outside and waiting for the owner. The made 7358 of this model and Sweden is blessed with 8 cars the last year of this model.
Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Limousine 1957 was made in two different models 1957. Last two years Sweden have got 13 new ones from 1957 but this is the first Limo. Awesome model.
