Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13103 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | I found a couple of pictures of "Raggare" from back then - thought it might be interesting for you to see. I want that all of you seeks for old pictures of the cars, chicks, ambient and the "raggare" himself - try to post only pictures from the 50-60.

And the hairdo is just great - that's what half a kilo of Brylcreme and an aluminium cam could do. Even if not yet a "Raggare" at the time, here is some pictures of the little Wizard and the cars and style back then (Wizards_Mother1958.jpg) (Wizard_and_Mother_1958.jpg) (Wizard_1960.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13103 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | The first pictures I posted comes from a book called "Raggare", written by one who was actually there when it all happened, Sten Berglind. For those of you that can manage to read Swedish, I really can recommend the book; Title: Raggare - rebellerna som skakade Sverige Author: Sten Berglind ISBN: 91-7126-008-0 (Resize of Road Devils.jpg) (Resize of Swordsman.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ![]() ![]() | ||

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13103 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Basically a fellow that loves American Cars, American Music and Hard Partying. The word raggare comes from the word "ragga" in Swedish, which is slang for picking up someone (girls). Often, those fellows form gangs or more like clubs today. The main thing is to cruise the streets, while heavy partying in their cars and pick up girls. In the old days, raggare where considered "scum of the earth" and constantly chased by the cops. We where not so bad really, I know, since I was there - we just wanted to have a good time. | ||
