Cal look rubber came about as a CA fad and is probably appropriately named, but what has become known as "American Style" is really OE style. I don't think there is anything specifically American about it. I suspect that the name "American Style" has been propagated in an attempt to give more credibility to the Cal look rubber. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
