Photographer: Daniel Reinhard One of my favourite cars of all time is Paul Strahle’s famous 1957 Porsche 356 Carrera, probably the most successful racing Porsche 356 of all time. The story behind this car – let alone Strahle – is amazing, with Strahle racing this car for 50 years, with few modifications. This single car [...]
I literally stumbled across this museum last year while in Hamburg. This small, modest place was hallowed ground for vintage VW, Porsche and German car fans. I have visited some of the best auto museums in the world, including the factory museums at Porsche, Mercedes and Ferrari, and this (in my humble opinion) is one [...]
I love learning about lesser known cars from “back in the day.” This historic photo is courtesy of Bob Hoffield, and was taken in the early-to-mid 1970s. Do you know anything about this car? If so, post your comments on Cal-Look.com’s Historic Photo of the Week Thread on the Forum.

Some of our readers may not be old enough to remember what the 1980s Cal-Look scene was like. And some of our readers may not remember the 1980s So let’s take a brief trip down memory lane (photos generously submitted by David Ward)… Below are 4 engines from 1983-1985, two drag race, two street cars.

This week’s photo was kindly submitted by VW photographer, Glenn Miller, featuring one of my favourite subjects, Dean Lowry (of EMPI and Deano Dyno-Soar fame). What’s cool about these photos is that they focus on Dean’s early days, in the mid-1950s, and have nothing to do with VWs. I don’t know anything about these pics, [...]
