Re: [T3] What does 'Cal look'mean?

["Ant.&Rhonda" <a.cole6@verizon.net>]

I agree to keep your VW as stock as possible.  I own a 1968 VW that was
modified to the Cal-look prior to me purchasing it and I would give anything
to have my wing windows back.  Unfortunately, the cost is quite substantial
unless I just go ahead and purchase new doors, which would then entail
getting my car painted over, etc., etc., etc.  If it were not for the fact
that my car runs like a top, I would get rid of it in a heartbeat and find
myself a stock 67.  When I went to look for my squareback I was determined
this time to find one that had been unmolested and still had that "old man"
feel.  Although my squareback may have had a few minor alterations, I am
proud to say that my interior is all original and in excellent condition
[dash included] and my only complaint would be that when they had it
repainted that they failed to take the time to match the paint to the
original color a little better.  My car is more the baby blue of the VWs as
opposed to the more steel grayish color of the 67 squareback.  Anybody know
what the color is called.

OG rocks!!!!!!
