The Cal-look Lounge

Ok guys,

season is more or less over. All the new cars debuted at one or the other show. I would like to know which european Cal Looker that debuted in 2007 is your car of the year? And I really would like stay in Europe. We can do another thread with a worldwide favorite Looker/Racecar or whatever.

Her comes my Cal Looker of the year: It's Fred Diplacidos gobibeige 63. That car rocks! I would have preferd it with a merged dual quiet exhaust instead of the turbo muffler but other then that it's spot on! Congrats to Fred for such a beautiful car!
Cheers,

Georg

That one or Tobi DFL's oval - I love both of those.  :)

Neil, but Tobis Oval is not a new car! Even if he did some nice visual updates (and a lot more under the body) like Lucas indicators and bubble rear lights from the US modell.

Oops, I mis-read that bit! :o ::) :D Still stunning!

I like the WPK'67 too, but not exactly a cal looker, and Dangerine would be my favourite new race car. ;D

Ok, I better re-write my post - or everybody has to read it correctly! ;)

Which european Cal Looker that debuted in 2007 is your car of the year?

it would be nice to see some pictures of the debutants  ;D

Ok Olaf, can we move the race cars? I'll open another thread!

I SAID LOOKERS! CAL LOOKERS! NOT RACECARS!  :D Stupid Germans!  8)

Georg, we have a Problem... ;D ;D ;D

People don't know the difference between Race Cars and Cal-Looks... ::)

My Vote goes to Fred Twins 63!!!

Note because we are in the same Club, but because this is the Best Looking Cal-look i've seen for a long Time!!!

Frank

pff - i allready modified my thread -ok ok i'll kick them out… :P

specially their owners  ;D

Vegard "Baboon" Langseths 1967 Cal-looker that debuted at SCC 2007. A perfect Cal-looker, that's my opinion!

oh yes -very nice car -could we have some more pictures?

Another one.

Jøran, does it has a buggy bar? How cool is that! I was waiting for someone to do it! If the car gets one piece windows it'll be picture perfect!

It's got a buggy bar at the front. 

Vegards looker is also my favourite.

The pics of Vegards car does not really justify how cool it really is. Awesome car!
Maybe orange lenses for the lucas? What do you think?

and a set of one piece window.  ;D

This is a very very nice cal look.

In fact, is it possible to make a correct choice between all this cars?

cool thread! cool pics 8) 8) 8) 8)

type 1 :fred twins 63 very awesome car ,as georg said with dual quiet muffler it looks better more 70's
type 3 : my friend nicolas , awesome car too , nicolas your fastback rocks  8)

They are all so cool, it is hard to choose!   You guys are doing the best cal-look cars......stuff liek 8 spokes and buggy bumpers that just wouldnt be done here in the states.  I hope to come over soon to check it out!

European Bug-In 2, July 2008... ;)

Georg!
Fred's Ragtop on American Racings would be my choice too. AWESOME car!
Richard's green Oval on alloys (see pics further up) and Rudy's red '67 are my two other favorites.

That green oval ragtop looks exactly like a car that was built in Arizona a few years ago. Is it the same car??

Hye,
The Green Ovale is a total creation of French Guy !
Other pics !

Of the cars pictured my vote goes to Baboons 67. They are all really nice, but Vegards car is the most true cal-looker in my eyes.
It hasn't got all the "must have" parts added, a hot color or the biggest engine in town. It's kept simple and clean with a few period correct touches and actually built on a tight budget. And those real 8-spokes really does it on a clean car.

There should be a rule saying that every time you add something you have to take something off the car.. Just look at that understated car in all its simplicity. It's the car as a whole that does it, not just the parts added. Well done!
(gotta agree about those one-piece windows though..)

 

I couldn't say it better....Vegard 67 got my vote.

The Fred twins 63 for me... remember it turning up late on Saturday night at EBI, went straight over to check it out, even in the dark it looked so right and then seeing it the next day in the sun it looked just plain awesome!

havent seen it in the metal yet but it looks fantastic

My vote for the 63 looker from the Jumps too.

Really love the stance, the wheels (best ones ever in my mind), the color... all the car in fact....

Well done!!

this is a well cool car

As much as I like Fred's new car, this one gets my vote!

Thanx for the nomination  ;D ;D ;D ;D

another pic of my car  ;)
