Rattvik, Sweden - Classic Car Week

[SuperVM]

My wife is Swedish and we are currently on holiday near Rättvik, a town in mid-Sweden about three hours from Stockholm. We came to Rättvik in mid-August last year and were told the town was much quieter after the car show had ended. I wondered how big a show in a little town in Sweden could be and didn't think much of it after that. This year we came a couple of weeks earlier and have been here for the entirety of Classic Car Week, it wasn't really intentional to be here while the show was on, as again I didn't realise its scale. The centre of the entire town has been swamped by cars attending the show for the past week, most of which are older American cars, though you will see the occasional modern Corvette, Camaro or Mustang, I haven't seen any of the modern Dodge offerings.

Here are some of the pictures I took today while walking around. Hopefully, I'll get some more tomorrow, which is our final day before heading back to Stockholm and then back to the UK. I keep seeing a really nice purple Challenger, black Charger, a 70 Chevelle and a pair of '69 Camaros I'd like to get pictures of, so hopefully I'll find them before we leave. What I've included so far in this thread represents a tiny population of the interesting cars currently in Rättvik.

Classic Car Week is great, very laid back and lots to and see every day, the Tuesday cruise night and Weds lake days are my faves. We always drive over to Vasteras in one of our classics for the Power Big Meet in early July, a couple of years ago we left our 63 Cadillac out there at a friends then flew back out for the Rattvik event, we rented a big house up on the hill over looking the lake for a week. Would love to do it again

We rented a place on the hill last year, it was great. This year we're in Siljansnäs, which has also been great, though quite a bit further away. We're planning on getting a cottage here, so we'll probably be regular attendees in the future.

Today was much quieter and very wet, so I didn't get many pictures and especially not many good ones.
