Cal Look of the 90's
The characteristics of the 1990's: The Cal Look looks back to its roots, although Old School
is not defining the original Cal Look, but the Cal Look of the 1990's. That's why most cars
nowadays still have their chrome trim and sometimes even towel-bar bumpers. Again any Beetle,
Karmann, Type 3 or Bus with round bumpers, but also 1968 or 1969 beetles with square bumpers.
The color choice is usually restricted to original Volkswagen colors or period colors. The
interiors often keep the stock seats or are upgraded with period racing seats. Dashboards are
hardly altered, gauges are located in additional pods. The lowering is again restricted to the
front end, the rear end remains on stock height. Wheels and tire choice often follows the 1970's.
That's why only period wheels are possible and all tires are no low-profile tires. Engine-wise
there is really something going on, compared to the 1980's. Big type one engines up to 2.3 litres
with 48IDA carbs are now commonplace, but a hot 1600cc with 40 IDF, is fine for some. Modern
technology often contributes goodies like MSD ignitions, 94mm barrels and pistons and the very
much favored turbo mufflers.
