Lennart Djurberg (b. 1935-09-24), of Sollentuna in Stockholm, Sweden. Lennart is an early Swedish hot rod pioneer.
By many the first in Sweden to establish the Hot rod sport using tuned early Ford V8.
Early years
Lennart's father Erik ran a Ford shop in Edsviken area, so it was a natural growing up step for him to learn mechanics and how to repair & tune cars.
In 1955 Lennart bought a 1932 Roadster and installed a 100 hp 59A flathead making it one of the first Hot rods in Sweden.
The area around the shop became a popular place for young kids to meet with their cars and many got inspiration and help by the Djurberg family.
The tradition continues as Lennart's son Johan Djurberg carries the knowledge further in the company Vallby Speedshop.
Awards
Lennart won the price "Lifetime achievement award" by Wheels magazine in 2009.
Lennart was selected as the first member of SSRA 'Hall of Fame' in 2024.
