Here are pics from the oldest annual Car Show here in Finland called American Car Show. This was the 40th time when Finnish Hot Rod Association organized the show and it's always a clear sign that the spring is finally here! Some good looking rides were seen in the show as always. At the same time there is also FHRA Model Car Contest, that is supposedly the oldest annual Model Car Contest that is specifically to car models. I didn't take much pics of the models, as I'm not good at taking photos through the glass... Here is a link to my Gallery with all pictures: American Car Show 2017 And below there are some teaser shots. A clone of the original "Moonglow" Chevy Custom, built by a Finnish '53-'54 Bel Air enthusiast. The guy has been Customizing those Chevys since the '80s... And since this was the 40th show, there were some old cars that had been in American Car Show a couple of decades ago. For example this '49 Oldsmobile that was built in the '70s and nowadays it still looks the same, it has even the same paint job and everything on it. That car won at Stockholm Hot Rod Show in 1979, and back then that was some big news, as generally Swedes were ahead of Finns at that time when speaking of cars. This '64 Polara won American Car Show People's Choice trophy in 1978 or 1979 (Can't remember for sure!). It looked a bit different back then, but it's a cool car like this too. This Chrysler looks exactly the same as it did when it was built decades ago.

That is (or was) a '47 Buick Sedanette. The builder definitely knows how to work with sheet metal, his previous Cadillac Custom was another real beauty too:
