SEE YOU IN VÄSTERÅS JULY 8-10!
Will the 17,000 car record of Power Big Meet 2009 be beaten? This is the biggest car show in Europe – by far – and the only competition in the United States is the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, Michigan. However the Dream Cruise is a happy get-together of collector cars. Not a car show and a huge swap meet in one place. The fact that Power Big Meet is held in northern Europe in sparsely populated Sweden is hard to explain.
Power Big Meet Swap Meet is bigger!
Despite the fact that the swap meet is already huge and takes at least a full day to cover we have choosen to let it grow for 2010. When given the opportunity to some selected new vendors with unique parts to take part in this years show.
The finest Cadillac in the world?
One of the higlights of the 2010 Power Big Meet will, no doubt, be the 1960 Eldorado Seville of Chister Malm. It is a 14 year restoration project – thousands of hours – in search of perfection.
"I have tried to restore the car to the exact condition it was when it left the factory June 20, 1960."
The Eldorado was found flawless – 50 points out of 50 possible – by the judges at a Power Meet in early June. This perfect score has been awarded only 4 times in the 33 year history of Power Meets. Despite this level of perfection, Christer's Cadillac will meet stiff competition in Västerås July 8-10. Cars are judged Friday and Saturday July 9 and 10.
Debora goes from Florida to Big Meet!
Debora Blomster lives in Sarasota on the West coast of Florida. "I have dreamed about taking a car to Power Big Meet for years!" Debora shipped her newly finished project car - a 1972 Oldsmobile convertible - to Europe in May. "Power Big Meet is one of the biggest American car gatherings in the world and I'm really looking forward to visiting the show in my own car."
Great start to Power Meet 2010 show season
Power Big Meet in Västerås is by far the biggest Power Meet. We also sponsor several smaller shows every year. Power Start of Summer Meet in Hässleholm i southern Sweden drew some 2.800 american cars the last Saturday in May despite cold and cloudy weather. Power AmericaFest in the small town of Nossebro about an hour east of Swedens second biggest city Gothenburg set a smashing new record of 3.400+ US cars June 5th. These are huge show by international standards and the US car following in Scandinavia is incredibly big.
U.S. car enthusiasts from all over the world are preparing for the trip to the 33rd annual Power Big Meet in Västerås July 8-10. Make your travel arrangements early – this is a huge show and accomodation is limited. In fact most regular visitors book their hotel rooms one year in advance – when they leave Västerås to go back home! There is no way to describe Power Big Meet – you have to be there in person to understand the size of this event. If you like American 50's and 60's cars nothing – even in the United States – can compete with Power Big Meet!
