The Bosse Wallskog Collection

Björn Ramsten's 1957 Chevrolet at the 1967 Hot Rod Show in Marmorhallarna. A friend suggested he show the car to Bosse "Gamen" Sandberg, widely regarded as Stockholm 's “Kustom King.” Björn drove to Öreby, where Gamen immediately recognized the Bill Cushenbery influence, saying, “I see you have been inspired by Cushenbery.” After praising Björn’s unique take on the design, Gamen arranged for the Chevy to be exhibited at the September Hot Rod Show in Marmorhallarna.

This angle highlights the extended rear fenders, 1960 Plymouth taillights, and offset license plate pocket that contributed to the car’s radical design.
