Vaesteraas, Sweden - Thousands of mint-condition Chevrolets, Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles from the 1950's boulevard-cruise with Brylcreemed greasers draped over the steering wheel and rock 'n roll hits blaring on their radios.

You might think you've been transported back a half-century to small-town America but, no, this is a scene found in any number of towns across Sweden where the early days of the US car culture never went out of style.

The fascination for Thunderbirds, Chevrolet Bel Airs, Crown Victorias and De Soto Fireflites with their slick, tapered tail fins and two-tone finish led to a vast sub-culture that crossed over to Sweden in the late 1950's - and entered a time warp
