thanks

I don't get it either, capo!
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.

old school is a cal look bug that have  the chrome trim.

same as you died ,
and the terms old school appeared here in europe in  something around 94/95 , it was when somes magazines started to show bill schwimmer  and others DKP III cars in report

sorry to go off-topic -- but the wheels on the first picture --  are those ET MAGS??? these look like some repro empis no?

its an original empi 5 spokes with this caps

oups -- my misstake -- the glossy paint mislead me -- why put ET centercaps on OG empis ? ;-)

???

Paint is not glossy on my Empis...  They are satin ;D

this is OLD SCHOOL (Don Crane's '67)

in europe here's what is an old school

He put them on there because it's his car and it makes it look a little more OLD SCHOOL!  :P sorry had to.

I thought a Callook with the chrome rims still on it was called 'resto callook' or am I wrong?

Wout

Old school means everything an nothing for me, it's being to much used for too many different things.
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.

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".

i love the lounge, i found all my secret windows... ;D

these sentences were exactly what I wanted...

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.

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

  Perfect!!!     How bouts Ya'll just go drive yer cars. Call them what you will.

X2 That.....!
