The Cal-look Lounge

Car from the early 90's i think...bright orange sedan with detailed Fuchs.
Maybe you guys remember the Bug? Can anybody post any pictures of this car?

Thank you,

Jim Ratto

hey Jim...i LOVE that car....(apart from the interior.. ;))    such a cool color....

it was featured in a really old copy of Volksworld....early 90's??.... which i have somewhere, i'm just off out so i cant look now, but i can try to dig it out tomorrow night......unless anyone else on here can do it tonight?

cheers.....jick

is this a orange 67 you are talking about? on the cover of 1980 feb. Callook edition hotvw's?

hey Jim....i'm looking but cant find it yet......there's a lot of mags to look through... ;)

i'll keep on it.

yeah Kobus, it was a pale peal orange, i remember it was called 'weathercliff pearl orange 'in the feature, had detailed fuch's and an 80's style beige velour interior.......and IDA's of course. ;D

oh...i dont think it was a '67....i recall it being a 65/66......but i could be wrong....

Jick i gotta say you are a real geek when it comes to magazine features, you can remember every car and the issue it appeared. :)

I guess that I know that car as well. Did it feature beige scat (?) seats and a beige Lecarra steering wheel or something like that? It was pictured in a beetle book I own that was terribly translated from english to german. I guess the book´s title is "Superkäfer". Unfortunately I can´t find it as I have recently moved to a new adress and lots of stuff is still in boxes.
Maybe Georg/DFL can help out?

Could it be this car?

There was talk that this might be an old DKP car as featured on the front of hot vw's

that's right this one is the red one on this cover

At least that the car was not the one I was thinking about... ???

this picture was taken the same day has the hot vw dkp 2  mag ask deano on the lounge he know the story  ;) the picture was taken in 77 and the dkp2 was the june 77 issue and the other was the february 80 issue  3years of distance between 2 but taken the same  day funny no ??  ;D

the hot vw's cover is a  totally different car......

....yeah tobi, you're right, i think it did have that kinda steering wheel.......

i'll get on the case again with the magazines over the weekend.........

Oh, I just picked up that book in October.  I didn't realize that was the car.  I'm too busy looking at the Berglar and Brinton's 67 in that book.
