The Power Big Meet is the biggest American car show in the world – and it takes place in Västerås, a small town in central Sweden.
The three-day event attracts 17,000 American car owners from across Sweden and from around the world. They gather to swap, admire and drive cars. The event is tied to the ‘raggar’ subculture, which emerged in Sweden in the 1950s and was inspired by the American greasers.
I joined in this year’s Power Big Meet in July and produces this photo essay, which was published by Vice, The Local and spiked.
