What does Cal-look Mean to you

[Fastbrit]

I think Bill has hit the nail on the head. Cal Lookers are indeed the '32 hi-boys of our generation. The first cars, like Ron Fleming's Oval, were the Vic Edelebrock Sr '32s of their day, the hard-core '70s Lookers were the McMullen roadsters of their age, the 1980s saw the VW equivalent of the graphicked belly-button '32s from Boyd and the like, while the current scene sees modern reincarnations, in the style of the classic Doane Spencer hi-boy owned by Bruce Meyer (not Bruce Meyers!).

heres a picture of Ivan after a stop light race for those wishing to emulate the look

He looks more like you (with my teeth) than me - far too much hair to be me, unless it was me back in the mid 90's. 

 I can see what you are saying cause he's a fine looking specimen  perhaps this is more you? He’s got a lavender shirt an everything

Nice to see it all being kept on topic...

, while the current scene sees modern reincarnations,

I would probably say more like the resto rods of the 70s. Stock exteriors with warmed over motors and more modern underpinnings. But I pretty much agree with what you and Bill have said. So what will be the next evolution? Keeping with our parallelisms I think we will see a backlash of stripped down hot rod cars as more people grow bored with the current trend.

Perfecto! 

Now, stop being silly and... keep things on topic   

I will say this only once...

You do not want to upset Keith when he's got his sensible head on!

Sorry Keith

To me Cal look means fast clean street cars that run hard, can be driven anywhere any time but more than anything they are fun.

To me Cal-look means a lot of expences...............

To be serius I am on Bills way of seing things. Lot's of traces back to the Hot Rod days. I think Grey Baskerville put it down to the last line. It si not about having the right stuff or colour and it is not about being finished to the last nut. It is all in the stance and how the wheels sits.....Grey was a Hot Rod guy and described Hot Rods, but it applies to Cal-llokers for sure!!
