Last weekend I visited this amazing place in my home county Värmland, Sweden. In the middle of the forest, very close to the norwegian border, rest (and rust) about 1000 cars from the 30's to the 60's, besides and on top of each other. The place was founded by two brothers (Ivansson) in the 1950s to break down vehicles which had been abandoned by American soldiers leaving Europe after the Second World War. They then sold on spare parts for repairs. They continued to trade until the 1980s before they abandoned the site in the 1990s leaving the forest undergrowth to claim the cars.
The place is now visited by junk and car lovers (and photographers) from all over Europe.
