Sweden
Sweden has long been renowned for its tradition of inventors and high technological skill, dating back to the 19th century. This spirit of ingenuity helped foster a deep-rooted culture of automotive customization and hot rodding that would later become a defining aspect of Swedish car culture. With the highest per-capita concentration of customs, hot rods, and American cars in the world, Sweden’s story in this field is both unique and influential.

Early Beginnings and the 1950s
The Swedish hot rod and custom car scene has its roots in the early 1950s. Long before the custom movement took shape, racing activities with vintage cars had been part of Sweden’s automotive landscape. In the post–World War II years, as many pre-war vehicles aged and became more affordable, a new generation of car enthusiasts, born in the 1940s, began to experiment with modifications. Early inspirations came from the United States; imported magazines such as Hot Rod Magazine, Hop Up Magazine, and Rod & Custom, along with American films, ignited dreams among Swedish youths to transform ordinary cars into personal works of art.
By around 1960, approximately 30 vehicles in Sweden could be classified as either hot rods or customs. The early hot rods were predominantly pre–World War II cars, which were modified due to their age and affordability, while custom cars tended to be newer post-war models that were more expensive and therefore less common among young enthusiasts.
The Emergence of Car Clubs and the First Generation Hot Rodders
As interest in modifying cars grew, local groups of young enthusiasts began to organize themselves. One of the first notable groups was the Sollentuna Gang, a collection of teenagers from the Sollentuna Municipality in Stockholm. In the mid-1950s, inspired by American magazines and movies, members like Lennart Djurberg, Janne Eriksson, Ronny Eriksson, Björn Hagelfors, Göran Almen, Peter Billing (from Lidingö), Peder Lundgren, Bosse Åberg, Leffe Karlsson, and others congregated at the garage of Lennart Djurberg’s father. Lennart’s dad, who repaired Fords in his own connected garage, inadvertently provided a space where the young hot rodders could gather, learn, and experiment.[5] This early period also saw the participation of youngsters from outside Sollentuna. Janne Bellander and Björn Bellander, who were from Värmdö, also joined the guys, and from Värmland county came Roland Larsson, bringing his 1932 Roadster with a hot tuned 1936 engine. From Norrtälje, north of Stockholm, joined Bosse Eriksson, known for his 1932 Roadster.
The Flintstones of Hollygroff Car Club
In 1961, another pioneering chapter unfolded with the founding of The Flintstones of Hollygroff Car Club. Established by Björn Ramsten, a young enthusiast from Fredhäll at Kungsholmen, and a small group of neighborhood friends, the club was named after the popular animated sitcom The Flintstones, reflecting both their youthful humor and creative spirit. Even though the members were not yet of driving age, they pooled their weekly allowances to purchase a 1947 Buick convertible, which became the club’s official vehicle. Despite requiring extensive rust repairs and modest custom work, including a striking red and white paint job designed from a sketch by club artist Nils-Erik Schullström, the Buick stood as a symbol of their shared passion and determination.[6]
The club distinguished itself from other local groups like The Road Devils, Car Angels, and the Teddyboys by emphasizing the enjoyment of cars rather than engaging in reckless behavior. Members regularly met at popular local hangouts such as Fredhällsfiken Freden, Solstugan, Café Bellman by Karlbergskanalen, Talluddens Cafe on the Solna side of Karlbergskanalen, and Henry's Cafe in Skarpnäck. Group photographs, many taken by Lelle Larsson, captured both the camaraderie and the proud display of the club car. Unfortunately, in 1962 the Buick was banned from driving due to faulty brakes, a worn-out front end, and other mechanical issues. While awaiting a planned restoration, the vehicle was parked at a friend’s parents’ summer house; however, when the parents grew weary of the abandoned car, a junkyard was called to remove it. Although the Buick was lost, the memory of The Flintstones of Hollygroff Car Club and its emblematic vehicle continues to influence Swedish custom car lore.[6]
The Second Generation of Swedish Hot Rodders and Customizers
Geographically the most action now moved to the southern parts of Stockholm. The new wave of Swedish hot rod and custom enthusiasts included Bosse "Gamen" Sandberg and his brother Sven, who had moved from their parents on Kungsholmen to Älvsjö.
Many grew up at Enskedefältet, like Hasse Broberg, Kjelle Gustad who called themselves "Sill_Drivers". Bengt Wennergren, Håkan Lindell, Jonny Burger and Göran Silfors also lived in Enskede.
Palle Eriksson in Västerhaninge, Richard Bergström in Johanneshov, and Junken, who lived with his dad in Huddinge. The group back then counted about 30 guys. They were all born in the early 1940s.
In 1963 Lars Ljungkvist's 1932 Ford Roadster was featured on the cover of Teknik för alla December 1963. The caption on the cover stated that the hot rod sport had now reached Sweden. According to the story, there were about 30 hot rods in Sweden at the time.[7]
A couple of guys got together and found a large "barn" in Huddinge where they could build their cars and help each other. Several Hot rods were fabricated there.
Every gang should have a name so they called themselves "Road Knights".
The "Hot Rod Barn" is still there and maintained by Tommy Andersson.
Tommys older brother Lelle "Skägget" Andersson ran for many years (1958-2008) a junk-yard nearby where many parts could be found.
A couple of guys from Stockholm area went on a adventurous Trip to Italy summer of 1964.
Meanwhile (in the mid 1960s), people in other parts of Sweden started building Hot Rods and Customize cars. Some examples are Leif Heden in west Dalarna,
several young guys in Enköping, Sundsvall and Örebro. Many of these took the car to display at Hot Rod Show in Stockholm.
Searching for objects
The junkyards in Denmark and Norway were filled with old Fords, and everyone went across the border to get project cars. Junken and his buddy Richard supposedly smuggled more than 40 Model A and B Ford's across the border from Denmark. People used to buy a small car in Stockholm that they drove down to Denmark and traded in for an old Ford. The license-plates from the little car were mounted on the Ford so they could drive it back home.
Skillingfors was the best place to cross the border from Norway. At Skillingfors there were a sign with Sweden on one side, and Norway on the other one. That was it. There was also a narrow dirt-road that went trough Ed that was popular to smuggle cars out of. Cars carrying Norwegian license plates were often driven across the border. Back home the licenseplates were so mailed back to the owner in Norway.[8]
The reason why pre-WW2 cars were easier to find in Denmark and Norway is that there was an import-ban for new cars after the war.
Thus, they took better care of the existing cars during the period.
In Sweden older cars were demolished in Stock-car races or torn apart in the woods or junk-yards.
Getting parts
In the early days of Swedish hot rodding, BoMac Racing in Älvsjö, Stockholm was the only place you could order hot rod parts from the US. BoMac Racing was a company run by Bosse Kasby and his brother Ove. After moving to the US, Bosse went on to work for Dean Moon at Moon Equipment for many years in the 1960s. Bosse moved to the US in the 1960s, where he went on to work for Dean Moon at Moon Equipment when he was only 17 years old. Ove started out selling racing-parts, that Bosse shipped from the US, out of his garage in Älvsjö. When Bosse returned to Sweden, he became a Moon dealer.[9]
Another early dealer was Jordbro Hot Rod Center in Handen south of Stockholm, run by Sixten Persson. Owner of a black 4-door 1932 called 'Black Power'.
Bo "Gamen" Sandberg ran his own store Yankee Custom Parts from Flensvägen 27 in Örby.
In 1966, American Auto-Accessories opened located in Orsa, Dalarna. Became later Roach.
Other companies started in the 1960s were:
Rogers Custom, Gothenburg. Stig Andreasson became new owner in 1967.
Hansen Racing, Stockholm. Carl Hansen.
Americano Enterprises, Linköping.
Indoor Car Shows and Outdoor Meetings
In the 1960s, Stockholm became known as the hot rod capitol of Sweden. In the spring of 1964 Roffe Skoghag started working on an indoor car show in Stockholm, and according to a story by Micke Östberg that was published in Gasoline 6/2015, Roffe got the idea after seeing Sillarna's, Junken and Palle's hot rods parked at Kungsgatan in Stockholm one night. Roffe was 24 years old at the time and a Swedish go-kart champion. He stroke a deal with Scania, who let the young kid borrow their facilities at Tanto in Södermalm to host a Hot Rod Show. He also convinced his go-kart sponsor Gulf about to run the advertisements for the show. Roffe's show became a success, attracting loads of spectators.[10]
Roffe's show caught the attention of Bo "Gamen" Sandberg, and in 1965 he decided to host his own Hot Rod Show at Ostermans Marmorhallar in Stockholm. 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. Gamen hosted the show together with Acke Nordström and Jonas Qvarnström. It took place about a week prior to Roffe's second show and it became a major success, while Roffe's second attempt became a disaster.[10]
The show was normally during week 8 or 9 when schools were closed for winter vacation.
Gamen understood soon that there were a big interest to display the cars in other cities.
So, during the winter period, there were numerous shows in e.g. Gothenburg, Linköping, Örebro.
The tour was called Hot Rod Festival and occured between 1966 to 1969.
In September 1967, a 5-day show called International Hot Rod Festival was arranged at BP carpark in Masthugget, Gothenburg. The organizers was probably
Start & Speed magazine and consisted of 20 cars and 10 bikes according to the ad.
Bo "Gamen" Sandberg also shipped his "Purple Passion" to a car show in London 1967, being the first Swede to participate abroad with a Hot Rod.
Picko Troberg continued to arrange Hot Rod Show in Marmorhallarna until 1976. After that the show moved to Sollentuna. See more about Hot Rod Show.
For some years there was also a Happy Car Show held in Solnahallen, north of Stockholm. Arranged by Jerker Vinnå, Easy Rodders and more.
Here is a collection of Swedish show vehicles over the years: Only for Show
Outdoor meetings & events
The Hotrodders around Stockholm eventually arranged local runs and meetings. Popular places was Skokloster or Östa in Uppland.
There were also a traditional Hot Rod Parade during Dragracing events at Mantorp Park.
In September 1977 Teknikens Värld organized a Street Rod Parade in Stockholm from Brostugan to Tekniska museet on Djurgården. It was a big success.
In 1982, SSRA arranged an Outdoor show outside the amusement park Gröna Lund in Stockholm, including also Choppers and original cars. Click on the link for more information.
Dragracing
New years eve 1965 Richard Bergström, Junken and some other friends emigrated to California. They returned full of impressions the next Summer, and decided to form a Dragracing club. Stockholm Dragracingklubb was formed in September of 1966. The weekend after, October 1-2, 1966 the first organized drag race event of Sweden was held outside of Stockholm. The race found place at the new freeway between Stockholm and Enköping. It was still under construction, and not open for the public at the time.[11] Amongst the cars attending were Bosse Gamen's dragster, Sven Sandberg's 1932 Ford 5-Window coupe, the Glowing Coupe, Lars Erik Ljungkvist's 1932 Ford Roadster, and Göran Silfors' 1932 Ford Roadster, the Early Bird. Bosse's dragster did the quarter mile in 11 seconds reaching a speed of 230 km pr hour. It rained on the second day of the event, and due to the wet track, Göran's roadster did the quarter mile in 18,4 seconds, while the Glowing Coupe did it in 16,6 seconds.
In 1967, the SHRA, Swedish Hot Rod Association, was founded after a big meeting at Carl Hansens home. The "First Go" was arranged at Anderstorp Raceway in August 1968.
As Swedish dragracing evolved rapidely during the 1970s, street-driven Hot Rods became less competitive.
Instead they were showed at very appreciated Hot Rod Parades during racing intermissions.
However, some Dragracing cars have become "retired" as Hot Rods. One example is Tony Jönsson's 1933 Plymouth coupe.
Fighting the Law
The possibility to legally modify/customize and improve car and MC performance has strongly affected the culture in Sweden.
Until 1965, no governmental control was done, it was up to the local police to assess the security of both cars and drivers.
1965, Svensk Bilprovning AB started, with mandatory yearly inspections of cars older than 5 years.
As there were no formal specifications of which modifications were allowed, it was mostly up the local examiner to check and assess.
Modified cars could thus still be passed with correct data in the registration data sheet.
1968, Trafiksäkerhetsverket established, setting up detailed regulations
on deviations from fabric manufactured vehicles, in practice meaning no modifications could be accepted.
For example, your own built car must pass a crash test to get approved which of course was impossible for a citizen.
These new regulations were introduced in 1970. Luckily many succeeded to get their cars approved before 1970. Many lost interest, some went racing etc.
But as you all know - Hot Rodders don't give up too easily! The activity in the garages didn't decrease.
Some smart people soon found out that Pickups were excluded from the new rules, leading to many new Hot Rods with a lorry bed at back!
Others installed a 100 hp flathead V8 that was original in the 30s. You could also change body on a, for example, Volvo Duett frame, and get it approved!
Since the founding of SSRA, 1975, hotrodders in Sweden got better organized in discussions with the authorities. Thanks to Sture Torngren, Göran Ambell
and many more, the Ministery of Communication were contacted with well-stated suggestions on how to solve the problem.
The idea was to establish a new organ with car experts able to assess calculations on physics, strenghts, suspension and security as a primary instance for approval.
This way, it should be possible to build a car or MC from scratch without being a professional. The same idea was already in place for aeroplanes.
Some years later, 1982, the new rules was set, and Svenska Fordonsbyggares Riksorganisation, SFRO established!!
The new regulations involved two mandatory controls done by SFRO staff. One when the basic construction of frame and suspension is made and one control when the
car is finished and driveable.
After these controls are made and the car is approved by SFRO, a regular inspection and registration is finally done by Svensk Bilprovning.
Due to lacking competence with old cars generally at Svensk Bilprovning and decreasing number of vehicles, Sweden has introduced exempion to the yearly
inspections for cars older than 50 years. Meaning no regular governmental control at all!
From 2019 this can also be achieved for "new" amateur build vehicles.
So there is a unique trust from the authorities, important for the car people to protect and not impose on!
Media and artwork
Both the American and the incipient Swedish Rod & Custom scene were sporadically published in Swedish motor magazines from the 1940s and ahead.
Teknik för Alla, Teknikens Värld, Motor have several interesting articles. Here is is scrap from the annual Tekniken Idag from 1968.
