Baylake Food&Nostalic

SWEDEN. Viksjö (Baylake)  nestled between high mountains along Beaver Road’s winding asphalt. We have passed Västanås magnificent waterfalls. Further up the 331-road  waiting sand ridges and lakes. Viksjö is the last stop for gas and caffeine.

There has always been gas station, school, business and that of course, but the last few years. Norrland magic stands steadfast in the friendly valleys but the lights have gone out in the shop windows one by one.

That has Stefan Hagman family changed.
Stefan Hagman has grown up in a country store. He has seen it all from the start. Impressions have been milled into the consciousness  burning iron.

He  is a collector too, and the combination will now all to share in a shop, café and car show that makes people willing to travel far before it has even opened for real. For those of you who recognize the name. Yes, he is. One half of the S & S Custom in Indal.

Jan Svensson, from another beautiful valley Västerböle, pulls on his leather jacket. The club Foxtails are calling

Viksjö Food & Nostalgia be visited. Dad Staffan Svensson has gone from Liden and turns in on his son’s farm with the Crestline Skyline from the 54th The sun rises. The defroster hatch frosts to rhyme on the windshield. The wipers turns while the car fills with family.

Staffan hanging on the wheel like so many times before. First fifty ford cost him 28 crowns  (4 dollar)  He fixed it up and sold for 55 crowns ( 7 dollar)

More cars connect. Annilie and Robert glides low in Chevy  66 . Kent Åberg takes the lead in the  conv.  from the same year. The caravan climbs gently along the road 331 which gave its name to a rock band in the neighborhood. The asphalt is good. Artery for timber trucks to the coast and inland tankers are kept smooth and even for the old cars that travel from October 19, 2014 fifty years back in time to the country store in Viksjö.

Forget  Elvis posters and Moon Decals on the walls. It was not big in Sweden 1964. Forget rockabilly and DePalma. Big in Sweden in 1964 was Harry Brandelius, Anita Lindblom and Lennart Hyland. 

Getting to Viksjö Food & Nostalgia is the fifties and sixties from the door handle you take in to the tables and chairs in the café from AB Northern Company Royal Deliverer. (NK). It’s ready for shooting a movie scen.  Just rig up the camera.

A ouarter in the slot in the vinyl lathe and the illusion is complete.

-I’m twelve years old again.

One would not raise an eyebrow if the fluor lady entered.

Stephen’s wife, Monika Hagman in the register. Sons Erik and Peter are working as well.  A family business. Viksjö has not gotten a convenience store. Viksjö has turned into an attraction.

John Smith from Västerböle went upstream this Saturday when Foxtails invaded. Two weeks ago, the Svea Cruisers Domsjö were here and it has not yet been an official opening.

Hagman on the terrace facing the road. The family, which very much restored the place with the help of a carpenter, are now completing even a speed shop!

Some cars can fit in there too.  Official opening will be when the gas station is completed, hopefully the  weekend week 44.

Then there will be live music in the car show / speed shop when Godfrey Krantz brings Dad and offers rock, jazz and country.

Annilie Pettersson and Robert Raynavd came in Åbergs 66: a cab.

Härnösands Municipality is on the train. They wanted an information data  kiosk in store for tourists and through  thruers.
-Sure said Hagman, but it’ll be my style.
The municipality was overjoyed when they saw the computer screen behind the TV screen.

It’s about beeing able to mix so it feels okay. New and old side by side. Works.

Suddenly he walkes among the tables as an ordinary man. Stefan Hagman. Book the opening now. Look out for definite date. Worldkustom have seen what will become the Speed ​​Shop. It will be good. A cart has already been photographed by Stefan. Two milk, a loaf and a carburetor.

Two fifty’s  cars left when Foxtails came. Later, a PV with hanging door handles (just as it was back then )  pulled in and raised the overall impression. The place is already a destination goal. Think summer with the outdoor café running. You get to build parking Stefan!

Time to go. Kent Åberg and Foxtails cruised home while spruce silhouettes slowly melted into the evening sky.
