World of Classics, museum, Automobile museum in Botkyrka Municipality, Sweden.
World of Classics is an automobile museum in Botkyrka housing approximately 100 restored American cars from the 1940s through 1960s displayed across three floors. The vehicles are in working condition and represent diverse models and styles from that era of automotive history.
The museum was founded in 2015 by entrepreneur Leif-Ivan Karlsson and his family in a former industrial building. The collection focuses on American automotive culture from the postwar decades, which shaped the selection of cars from that time period.
The top floor holds a café designed to evoke American bar culture from the 1950s, complete with Elvis memorabilia on display. Visitors can experience the design and spirit of that era while taking a break during their visit.
The museum is located in a large converted industrial building with good accessibility for all visitors. It is practical to plan for several hours to explore the collection spread across three floors and take in the full experience.
Beyond the cars, the museum displays a large collection of objects from the 1950s era, including about 100 neon signs. These colorful signs document the commercial aesthetics of an entire period and are often as engaging as the vehicles themselves.
