Oh I believe that Swedes dig old Detroit iron. I used to know a man born in Finland, who went to school in Sweden and later studied photography at Art Center College in Pasadena, California. He had a model A hot rod so I saw the phenomenon first hand!

Our local paper did a story about a group of Norwegians (I think, coulda been Swedes) who like to come over here and cruise Route 66 in their classic cars. Too cool.

Nowadays, the only “greasers” in California are in San Francisco, and West Hollywood.

- Route 66 is a myth over here in Europe, just like it is in America.

- Awful topic.

Please remember this is supposed to be a ‘family website’.
