Elvis Tribute & Slideshow

My last post from this years Grand Prix Raggarbil event. This was the eleventh year in a row that I attended the big meet, held for the first time this year at Lissma park in Huddinge. Always a lot of fun of course with all the different type of cars and many interesting people, including Anders Karlstedt who has his own Elvis Tribute show. I have uploaded 182 photos from the greaser meet and if you can't see the slideshow here follow this link to my flickr album.

På hösten faller löfven

Could be a correct guess in more ways than one this. It is a clever word pun. The sentence means that the trees lose their leaves come Autumn, but also that the prime Minister Stefan Löfven will lose the general election in early September. As seen on a 1958 Pontiac at the Grand Prix Raggarbil event at Lissma park in Huddinge.

Thunderbirds

Three Thunderbirds. My favorite is the 1964 version. As seen at the greaser meet at Lissma park.

Attacking Lion

Two photos of a Mercury Monarch from 1949. Shot the hood ornament photo using my Yongnuo 50mm f/1.4 lens. Haven't used the lens much this Summer but decided to give it a try at the car event.

Dressed for the occasion

Two candid photos from the 2018 Grand Prix Raggarbil event at Lissma park in Huddinge. Both styles fits in perfectly at this event. There's usually a price for best dressed "raggarbrud" and this woman was my favorite. Not sure if there was a price for best sound guy. This guy is a member of the Moonshine Cruisers club, (the organisers), and I have seen him with the microphone ready at previous visits to this event.

Hearses

As far as I know no one died at the big greaser meet at Lissma park yesterday. But I did see a couple of hearses at the event. The white one is a 1959 Dodge Coronet. It is owned by a member of the Scandinavian Hearse Society. He seems to be looking for a good woman. The second one is the Deadtour. That one is a Cadillac dedicated to the departed ✞ Olivia ✞ by the looks of it.

Grand Prix Raggarbil 2018

The annual greaser meet, Grand Prix Raggarbil took place today. Hundreds of raggare from all over arrived in their old cars. I walked around with two cameras for a couple of hours, saw quite a few familiar faces and cars. The event had moved this year and was held at Lissma park in Huddinge. I will show you more photos in the days to come. The first photo shows a 1939 Ford Deluxe. Second snap is of a 1955 Star Chief Safari.
