More American Car Cruising Gone Wild In Sweden

Classic car cruising in Sweden is a fascinating mix of beautifully restored vintage American cars and raggare (Swedish "redneck" subculture...?) in their trashed automobiles getting drunk on moonshine and partying. And I love it all!
Here are some of the sights and scenes from a car meet in Ystad, Sweden organized by the Yankee Car Club in Skåne.

A Swede here, this culture has existed in this country since the 50s. And it looks like it will continue many years.

This is heartwarming to see a remote country loving Anerican cars so much, even if they are less collectible models. Americans here are hard drinking and rude as well, so your locals are embracing authentic Anerican culture.

Hi! Do you know what? There are many very rare American Classics, (mostly from the 50"s) in Sweden. I think we started go over the pond to buy them even before the Americans realized there value... Late 60"s early 70"s. Ask any collector in America, (why not Jay Leno?) and they will tell you that in Sweden you will find very many collectible models... No offense... Just so you know! (My first car as an 18 year old was a 1966 Galaxie with Big Block)

As an American who goes to car shows/cruises this is very fascinating to me. There's some similarities to what we do here some stark differences (like the doors open while moving, the lack of "winga-dinga car music and the public drunkenness which will get you in a TON of trouble in The States.) And yeah you're not wrong about us almost NEVER seeing old 4 door cars and station wagons which is a real shame since I'd love to get hold of an old wagon. Those "Pilsner Wagons" are a bit similar to what we call "Rat Rods" here where they look really rough but are (usually...sometimes) in decent working order.

really interesting to hear the comparisons with the scene in the us, thanks! yeah, rat rod must be the inspiration here. but i wonder who started it first...? :)

The thing with the road worthiness is that a cop can make a roadside inspection and deem the car a safety hazard and give you a sticker on the windscreen, that means you have to retake the big serious inspection before driving it again, so they try to keep them just above that limit. Also, since they are driving close around expensive cars, they don't want to be the cause of an accident, so brakes and steering is kept in good order, even on most pilsnertrucks

If they want the full authentic experience, there needs to be several food carts serving hot dogs and cheeseburgers and fountain sodas, and rock and roll music from the 1950's through the 1970's.

Interesting. There are many classic car clubs in the US, but most of them go park somewhere in organized events and then people walk around admiring the cars and/or talking to the owners. Most are the fully restored variety. As you said there are two varieties seen here. There seems to be a lot of drinking and partying going on. Looks a lot like main street cruising in small town America, except the open drinking and driving likely wouldn't be tolerated here. My Dad used to collect 66 ford mustangs and I did see one of those in the video! Love the big fins they used to put on the back ends.

@zoomosis Жыл бұрын

Similar thing here in Australia. The police are pretty tough on drunk drivers. In some states like Queensland passengers can't drink alcohol either. Classic car culture here is more geared towards Australian models of cars since it's pretty expensive to import old cars and spare parts from the US, and they're not practical to drive often since we drive on the left. Though you do see groups of American muscle cars on the roads occasionally - weekends on the Mornington Peninsula, if the weather is good!

I may misunderstand you but just to clarify: the driver never drinks. At least that is very rare, I have never encountered a drunk driver at a cruising. I drive my 78 Caprice alot at cruisings but I would never consider drinking, except Coke and Dr.Pepper 😉 The passengers on the other hand are fueling themselves with beer 😂

BTW There are (as you mention a bit) thousands of real American Classic Cars renovated to perfection by serious guys in Sweden. Maybe you will do a video about those next time?
