The World, Why Swedes Love Classic American Cars, 08.27.12 by Angela J. Bass published on 2013-04-05T20:43:05Z Swedes caught onto the classic American car craze more than half a century ago. The country boasts more restored 1950s classics than the US, according to some estimates. An estimated 5,000 classic cars – among them Pontiac Silver Streaks and Plymouth Road Runners – are shipped to Sweden each year. And the fervor built around these cars is fueling a subculture of American nostalgia in Scandinavia. (August 27, 2012, PRI’s The World.) Genre Feature radio story
