When and Where

The second annual Gasoline Revival and Kustomrama Invitational will held Saturday, July 23, 2022, in Grängesberg, Sweden.

It's a Long Way From California to Stockholm

Gasoline Revival is an event dedicated to vintage pre-49 hot rods and racing. The Kustomrama Invitational is a celebration of the traditional custom car. The show is open for pre-1965 customs. From Early Styled California Customs to Early Styled Swedish Customs dressed up with canted quad headlights, tube grilles, and rolled pans. Yes, it is a long ride from Westergard in California to Gamen and his buddies in Stockholm, and our mission with the Kustomrama Invitational is to showcase the evolution of the traditional custom car as we all know it.

Pre-registered Cars Only

Space is very limited, and we have only room for 20-30 cars for the line-up this year. Submissions will be handpicked for their authenticity, and all entries must be pre-approved and must comply with the spirit of the event. Pre-1965 custom cars, restyled in a pre-1965 style can be entered for submissions. It can be a recent or an old build, as long as it is done in a period-correct style. Please send an email with photos of your car to invitational@kustomrama.com to register your vehicle for the show. The pictures must show the car as it currently sits, and you must include pictures showing all sides of the vehicle along with an interior shot.

All submissions will be rated after period correctness. We want to orchestrate the gathering to contain an equal number of customs from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and the 1960s.

What if My Car Isn't Selected?

Don’t worry. We still want you to bring your traditional custom car even though it didn’t make it amongst the first 20. We will have an area reserved for traditional hot rods and custom cars we can’t fit at the spectacular or in the race.
