OLDER N' FASTER - The California Look [film by Stephen Brooks]

This is the story of the California Look. Started back in the 60's no other style was as influential or important to the Volkswagen scene. They just get Older n' Faster ....

I can watch this over and over. I'm 62 and got myself a '63 Bug this year. I grew up in San Diego and owned nothing but air cooled cars from the age of 15 to 33. I'm happy to be back in.

Awsome video. I grew up in Huntington beach Cali 1970s till now. I still got my 1959 VW bug from my high school days early 1980's it's a Cal looker if you wanna call it that .( I never liked that term) . It's been painted 3 times since I got it .Still got most of its paint from when I painted it in 1982. It's been stolen twice, the front wheels were stolen once , its caught on fire 2 time's , I've gone through 5 motors on my sixth motor now and just put in a 2nd transaxle. I love my VW and I will never get rid of it. Old VWs never die they just get better with age. It's to bad you dont see to many older VWs on the road anymore.

Grew up in Torrance, Redondo area in the seventies… all my buddies older brothers had call look bugs, mom had a brand new bug with auto shift, dad had a white on white 77 convertible which eventually became my college car while a student at ArtCenter in Pasadena. My parents made a move to New Mexico in 80 and I just got my drivers license. My dad purchased a 65 bug for me that I picked out and it was clean. Spent the next four years turning that car into a cal vdub and it was probably the first cal look bug in New Mexico at the time. Won awards at local car shows but man I miss the sound of the dual webers. Live in Tokyo now and there are some nice cal look vdubs here… I can be walking down a street and occasionally I hear that sound you only get from a vdub, always puts a smile on my face.

Cal Look in the 80s got me started...20 years later...still at it. Thanks for the video! Tar Babe is a beautiful car!! Saw it in person many years ago.

Doesn't matter if you're into VWs, this is a great video. Do it with passion or not at all.

I enjoyed the video! Nice seeing the air cooled VW spirit living on. I owned (3) Beetles from 1982 to 2012, the last one was a Guards Red 71 with 1776 dual carb engine. The East Coast was a little behind when the crazy VW car shows started happening. I attended the very first Manassas VA Bug Out and many more thereafter.

This is amazing! An epic and inspiring film! Thank you

I never had a VW "Bug" but i always thougt our European look wasnt good looking, i loved the US Style with the the typical US bumper or no bumper and the US headlights, the smaller back lights. The later VW Bug with the elephant foot backlights as we call it and the straight front lights are not so nice in my mind.

Great vid, but the music mix is way to high in volume
