CAL-Look Display
For our first event in 2025, we will be celebrating 50 years of Cal-Look. It all started with that February 1975 issue of Hot VWs that sparked the Cal-Look trend that is still alive and well today. At the VW Revival we will have a special class of cars hand picked to be judged by Doctor Detail himself, Frenchy Dehoux. A one-off Trophy will be awarded to the Best Cal Looker of the event.
These cars will be parked in a separate area from the regular Car Show.
