Hot Rod Show 1965 Marmorhallarna
The Hot Rod Show was an indoor hot rod and custom car show held in Ostermans Marmorhallar in Stockholm, Sweden. The first show was hosted by Bosse "Gamen" Sandberg, Acke Nordström and Jonas Qvarnström in November 1965. Gamen had gotten the idea for the show after Roffe Skoghag had hosted a very popular indoor car show at Scania's facilities at Tanto in Södermalm. Back then, Picko Troberg had the exclusive rights to host auto-shows at Marmorhallarna, and because of that Roffe was not able to rent the location for his show. Gamen was able to convince the superintendent of Marmorhallarna that hot rods were more art than automobiles, so they let him have his Hot Rod Show at Marmorhallarna.[1]
The show was a success with over 20 000 visitors!
