Autot ja Viihde 2018 - 29th of September - Lahti, Finland - Yankee Car Show - Part 1/3 - Hot Rods

Autot ja Viihde is the last of the big car shows in the calendar and marks the end of the summer cruising season in Finland. This year show was divided into two parts, Yankee Car Show and X-treme Car Show, and occupied three halls of the Expo center of Lahti, which worked as a venue for the event. Cars from all over Scandinavia participated to the three day event. There was also a lot see outside where Hobbyist Car Park gathered a lot nice cars from nearby areas.

Billy Gibbons from ZZ-Top; Jimmy Shine, a well known fabricator, car builder and owner of Shine Speedshop, and Gene Winfield, legendary car customizer, were special guests for this year's event. They gave out two awards, which were designated by them. Gene also participated into a demonstration, which included chopping a car in front of live audience.
