In Sweden, a Reminder of Home

This was a pleasant sight upon waking up one morning in the beautiful – but very remote – arctic cold of Northern Sweden. Our chassis controls expert, Konrad, spotted this and took the photo of a nice old Cadillac (looks like from the early 1970s) that’s holding up nicely in these tough conditions. This is no show car – looks like a real runner. Notice the new tires and wheels. Needless to say, this is a pretty unlikely spot for a vintage Caddy and a nice surprise.

Where is Arvidsjaur?

With apologies to any Swedes viewing the site, who will find this obvious, Arvidsjaur is a town in the beautiful northern region of Sweden called Lapland. I would not know this myself were it not for the fact that a few automakers test cars here, including our team.

Arvidsjaur is just 110km (68 miles) south of the Arctic Circle. We’re talking incredible cold, incredible snow and lots of reindeer. We came here a little more than a year ago to get a jump-start on winter testing.
