This text focuses on the "California Look", a cult on the Volkswagen scene. The story goes back to the adoption of the Beetle by American hot-rodders in the 1950s. Their cars' successes on the drag strips led to VWs appearing on the streets in the style of race cars, stripped of chrome, with lowered suspension, a very powerful rear engine, and a quality customized paint job. The "Cal Look" was born. This book provides the history, the personalities, the legends, the racing, the clubs and the cars.
