The story

Power Big Meet in Lidkoping

Power Big Meet is a large annual classic American car show held in Lidkoping, Sweden. Long based in Vasteras, the event relocated to Lidkoping in 2017 and remains one of the largest gatherings of vintage American cars, especially 1950s models, anywhere in Europe today, drawing enthusiasts and collectors from across the continent.

Sweden's love affair with 1950s American cars is one of the more distinctive corners of global car culture, a subculture that took hold in the postwar decades and has grown into genuinely large, organized events rather than fading with time.
