Title: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: benssp on January 25, 2007, 12:24:13 pm As there were some disagreements on the '67 thread and someone suggested that a '64 is better, I decided a vote was in order ;D
I'll start it off with the mighty '67 (http://www.dkpcarclub.com/dkp_images/gutierrez.jpg) Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Type1/DVK on January 25, 2007, 12:58:46 pm everyone choses their own veedub jear ::)

Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Jordy/DVK on January 25, 2007, 13:43:59 pm I personally love the 58->61 models (with sunroof)... I prefer the European model because of the semaphores, but the USA models are great too... Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Frank LUX on January 25, 2007, 16:26:12 pm I think 58-64 with Sunroof make Perfect Lookers...!!!
I voted 1960 because of My Car... ;) Frank Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: speedwell on January 25, 2007, 16:34:43 pm all years is good to made a cal look ;D if you have the good idea to built this one 8)

Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Zach Gomulka on January 25, 2007, 18:00:21 pm Soo did every one vote for "their" year?? ;) Only because it is the best!!! 1967 :) Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Diederick/DVK on January 25, 2007, 18:01:32 pm Soo did every one vote for "their" year?? ;) Only because it is the best!!! 1967 :) once again you got that right ;) Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Jordy/DVK on January 25, 2007, 18:02:43 pm No I didn't... I have a '51 and a '67 (model 68) and I didn't vote 51 or 68, but 58... (the reason why, see some posts above)
Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: jick on January 25, 2007, 19:06:24 pm i agree with Frank.........'58-64
unless you have a split. :) Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: benssp on January 26, 2007, 13:10:33 pm 30% 1967 ;D
Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Rocket-Racing on January 26, 2007, 13:55:22 pm I like 67's, but if I am to be picky they have too large windows. Don't like the way the front window goes too far into the roof and the panel behind the hood. But that's a matter of taste..
I vote for the 58-64 models. They have more of the original design and are just perfect for the cal treatment in my opinion. Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: H67bug on January 28, 2007, 11:04:25 am '67 ;D
..... Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Mauro Cattan on January 28, 2007, 15:32:23 pm 54 for me!!! I like the Oval for a lot of reasons....ribbed doors, front window's shape, wonderful dashboard......yeah for me it's the best one!!
Bye Mauro Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Ivan on January 29, 2007, 12:31:05 pm The way things are going I think the best year for Cal look could be 2007! ;D
Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: SOB/RFH on January 29, 2007, 14:25:30 pm 2007 is a head of us, and 1965 is underrated.....all the good stuff and a lot of window!!!
One thing thou....I think split, oval, 58-64, 65, 66-67, 68-70, 70- and Superbeetle would be better...........just my 2 cents....... Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Jon on January 29, 2007, 14:33:55 pm No one likes the 57 apparently, i thought they looked much like the 56 but I guess I'm wrong. Or maybe no one owns one.
I'm with you SOB on what year is best, those years are cool! Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: benssp on January 29, 2007, 16:11:42 pm 2007 is a head of us, and 1965 is underrated.....all the good stuff and a lot of window!!! One thing thou....I think split, oval, 58-64, 65, 66-67, 68-70, 70- and Superbeetle would be better...........just my 2 cents....... I was going to do that, but then i thought that people would want there individual year. you can't please everyone, personally I like to please myself when no one else is looking ;D Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: rebel on March 21, 2007, 20:18:49 pm yeah, 67-Heaven :)
Personally I dont't think there is something like 'the ultimate year'. Basically earlier cars look better and are better quality in production. Later cars have less things to modify. For me it's cool to hot-rod each model-year of a bug. I chose the one I already have and restored earlier - that is a 1302. But If I'd start again I'd by the car in the best possible shape rather than older, but crappy. Money saved on full, pro resto I'd put into hod rodding :) Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: empicolector on March 21, 2007, 20:31:51 pm for me it's 1967 us model and T-BARS
Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: empi67rag on March 21, 2007, 21:45:18 pm for me it's 1967 us model and T-BARS I can't blame You!! Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: max2919 on March 21, 2007, 22:01:16 pm I have a 53 Zwitter and a 67 that I'm going to Cal-look. If I hade to pick one of them I'l keep the 67 ;D
Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: Oldschool on March 21, 2007, 22:44:54 pm Voted 67 though I got a 66, but I'm very fond of a 67 with metal sliding sunroof and 'vert decklid, Lucas and alll!!!
I guess it all depends on what you have in your garage or what you wish you had, no? ;D Oldschool Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: carlo on March 21, 2007, 22:52:04 pm '67 USA model! ;D ;) ;D

and as is widely know type 3 are better than type 1 ;D ;D ;D and therefore they addapted the 67 model more to the type 3 when the wolfsburg guys saw what a beaty they had created. LOL as for a ghia; the 66 model is also a special version with the special trim on the dash. very stylish also. Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: TiDi on March 22, 2007, 11:58:23 am I love the
53 Zwitter Split window beetle.... and the 55 oval can't decide.... Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: bullitt on March 22, 2007, 12:38:33 pm 53 zwitter is the way to go. a split window without that ugly split window dashboard.
Title: Re: What's the best year for Cal-Look Post by: babacool on March 23, 2007, 19:40:28 pm 67 us...... ;)
