<VV> american cars in sweden

[hank kaczmarek]

Ulli is right that Sweden has a very large American Car community.  In my 7 
years at Steele I handled many customers and we had a few shops that would 
order from us.
Surprisingly due to the cost of gas there, they like BIG cars.  Buicks, 
especially Rivieras and Wildcats are popular, as well as Cadillacs.
This is a hobby for folks with money up there. Besides what it costs in 
import tariffs for parts plus cost,  some of those big cars cost 250.00 US 
or more just to fill up.  And a Wildcat with a Nailhead motor is not a gas 
sipper.

it is a little bit like in the US - Corvairs are not recognized as typical 
American Cars here in Europe - the Corvair is too nice - most think it is a 
car from Italy. Even if they read Corvair they do not believe it is a Chevy.
The Swedish US Car community is pretty big, I believe it is the largest in 
Europe.
I am glad that here in Bavaria (Munich/Nürnberg/Passau) are about 5 Corvair 
owners within a radius of 150 mls - but this is much compared to the rest of 
Germany.
