Hot Rod & Rock Show 2018 @ TESC - 14th of April - Tampere, Finland - Part 1/3 - 20's & 30's

Hot Rod & Rock Show is an annual event held in Tampere, Finland, and is organized by Tampere's region of Finnish Hot Rod Association. Event acts as a kick off for the new season. This year was the 39th time it was organized and gathered vehicles from all around Scandinavia.

Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre (TESC) functioned as a venue and vehicles were divided into three halls. American cars and motorcycles were displayed at Hall A, Hall C held a dB drag racing competition and Hall C included tuner cars, customized big rigs, Motorsport and drag racing vehicles. There were also three live bands, HeviSaurus, Peer Günt and Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus, performing at Hall D.

This was my first time to visit the event and I concentrated on the American cars side of it. I divided my photos to three blog post by decades. First part covers vehicles from 1920's and 30's, second 40's and 50's and the last one 60's and 70's plus few pics from the parking lot. Check them out 😊

American Car Show 2018 - 30th of March - Helsinki, Finland - Part 1/4 - Yankees (and couple Euros)

This year's American Car Show offered again lots of diversity and unique vehicles from different decades. Oldest were from early 1900's like the 1906 REO Model 8HP Runabout. Since there were so many nice cars it would be difficult to pick favorite ones. But as a big fan of old aircooled VW's, it was nice to see car like the 60's T2 Panel Van, which I also included to the end of this photo set.

There were a lot to see with four different shows, American Car Show, Tuning Car Show, Motorsport and MC Heaven, included to one event at the same time. I divided my blog posts and photos by those shows. Please check them out! 😊
