Härnösand Car Museum

With about 300 vehicles on display, this is said to be the largest car museum in Sweden. It shows everyday and working vehicles alongside extraordinary cars. It opened in 2015 and is based on the personal collection of Calle Lundkvist, who began restoring cars as a teenager with a 1959 Chevrolet before making a career in property. The oldest car is a De Dion-Bouton from 1899. Many cars were acquired in poor condition, such as the Renault pickup dating from 1914 that Lundkvist brought from Paris and restored himself. An additional store contains vehicles that are still awaiting restoration. Swedish-made vehicles include a wide selection of Volvos and Saabs and a Tjorven mail van built in around 1970 in conjunction with DAF. The collection of large American cars from the 1950s and 1960s is particularly impressive. A Mobil petrol station built in the United States and installed in Sweden at Torsboda has been re-erected in the museum.
