Ockelbo-Lundgren
Ockelbo-Lundgren, born Erik Lundgren (19 February 1919 – 16 September 1967), was a Swedish racing driver. He is associated with Ockelbo cars and boats.
He first became known during the 1940s as "Trollkarlen från Ockelbo" (The Wizard from Ockelbo) when he participated in several races in a Ford 38 powered by a V8 engine with eight carburettors producing 280 hp - at speeds up to 220 km/h.
Erik Lundgren built and sold tuning items and in the mid-1950s he heard about a burned-out Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint and got the idea to make his own bodywork for it. He made a fibreglass mould using Uffe Norinder's Ferrari 500 Mondial and then started making his own bodies. They were considered very good and could take many different power plants. The Ockelbo-Ferrari is still made, under the Pagano brand.
Later Erik Lundgren also made fibreglass boats, from the company Ockelbo-Båtar AB that was in business until 1979.
