To me, the old school look sounds like stockers with a dropped front end, wheels and a big engine. Not too many visible modifications at least. The term itself came up in the 90ies as for as I know. Title: Re: OLD SCHOOL Post by: fredy66 on June 30, 2010, 12:51:21 pm old school is a cal look bug that have the chrome trim.

For me Bill Schwimmers' car and '90s DKP cars are cal-look, some other cars are resto-cal, german-look etc... Look at the scan Fabian posted with Bill Schwimmers car, why modify the cal-look "logo" to make it say "old school" ? That's just been invented by magazines in the '90s for me, I never read about "old school" VWs on the lounge. (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yNRCxM8lqtI/SQDpqK1oP0I/AAAAAAAAAwU/kbcwu1LhQKU/s400/cal-look.jpg) Also watercooled vw magazines call Golf mk1 and mk2 treated like this "old school", custom and hot-rod magazine call sometimes the '30s/'40s style rods "old school". (http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/560/869/20080824/dyn009_original_620_468_pjpeg_2560869_948bf4ccdde78831c55ed54875cd5684.jpg) Title: Re: OLD SCHOOL Post by: Dave Rosique on June 30, 2010, 20:25:04 pm Let's ask Shubee ;D

Title: Re: OLD SCHOOL Post by: Rick Meredith on July 01, 2010, 06:48:35 am Shame about all the labels and categories. X2 When I was in DKK... we had cars that were pretty traditional, cars that were "80s Cal-Looks" with graphics and multicolor paint jobs and we had some were leaning towards what's now called "Resto-Cal"... not that far mind you but leaning. ;) We considered them all Cal-Look. Title: Re: OLD SCHOOL Post by: Bewitched666 on July 01, 2010, 07:01:37 am I agree with all the labels and categories part although i think that the old school part refers to when a car is being built now to a look of the past being 60's,70's,80's or 90's look.
But thats what i think ;D Title: Re: OLD SCHOOL Post by: Jason Foster on July 01, 2010, 07:04:38 am oups -- my misstake -- the glossy paint mislead me -- why put ET centercaps on OG empis ? ;-) He put them on there because it's his car and it makes it look a little more OLD SCHOOL! :P sorry had to.Perfect!!!
