Ron Fleming and the California Look Hot VWs Magazine
Volkswagen Classic produced this interview footage in 2019.
The California Looker
In the 60s, Ron Fleming was one of the pioneers of the “California Look”, still the most popular style within the Volkswagen tuning scene to this day. An interview about the initial explosion of the international Beetle cult.

Hot VWs Drag Day March 2023 at Irwindale Dragstrip, California
The 2023 VW Drag Race Season Kicked off!
We had a blast at Hot VWs Drag Day held at Irwindale Dragstrip.
Enjoy the sound of music!
The original HotVWs Drag Days, held at Orange County International Raceway, was launched in the 1980s. The same track additionally welcomed the legendary Bug-In since its debut in 1968. After losing OCIR in October 1983, these two events have remained in the participants’ memories forever.
A drag race, a car show, and a huge swap meet during the same event was a perfect combo, which the VW scene in Southern California had been missing since OCIR’s closure. When Rich Kimball of Periscope Enterprises found out that Irwindale Speedway was going to open in 2002, he moved quickly to restart the hotVWs Drag Day, thus bringing back OCIR’s “good memories” for many. ...

Volkswagen Classic produced this interview footage in 2019.
The California Looker
In the 60s, Ron Fleming was one of the pioneers of the “California Look”, still the most popular style within the Volkswagen tuning scene to this day. An interview about the initial explosion of the international Beetle cult.
“I often had the funniest moments at traffic lights,” says Ron Fleming. “I was in my Beetle next to a genuine US thoroughbred beast, twice as big and three times as heavy. And then this bewildered look in my rear-view mirror as the traffic lights turned to green, and within seconds, my lawnmower car achieved a few Beetle lengths between itself and the so-called muscle car.”
It’s 1965, the so-called lawnmower car is a rebuilt VW Beetle called Ovali and Ron Fleming has just founded “Der Kleiner Panzers” (that’s how they actually spelled it), the first and to this day most glorious club of the so-called “California Look” scene. The tuning style, often called “Cal Look” or “Cal Style,” began an explosion of the international Beetle cult. It was initiated in the early 60s by a small group of Beetle aficionados from Orange County near Los Angeles, who, on their own, converted their Beetles into true racing machines. The names of these tuning pioneers have long enjoyed hero status in the Cal-Scene with their tens of thousands of fans worldwide. Joe Vittone and his coral red “Inch Pincher”. Greg Aronson and his “Tar Babe”. The Schley Brothers with their “Lightning Bug”. Dean Lowry in the “Deano Dyno-Soar”. And of course, Ron Fleming with his “Underdog”.
34-years later, Fleming became – for the first time – a guest in Wolfsburg, the birthplace and home of his cult object. The Californian gladly accepts the invitation to a cruise and chat in the cult Beetle “Herbie”, through the Wolfsburg countryside. There is much to talk about regarding the legendary creation of the “Cal Look”. And you don’t sit behind the wheel of a cinema hero like “Herbie” every day. “The first Herbie film, ‘The Love Bug’, was a milestone in 1968. In the USA it triggered a true Beetlemania, which was also noticeable in the tuning scene,” says Ron. “Even though we were already in Beetle fever for many years, Herbie itself had nothing to do with the Cal Look.”
Cheap and robust, compact and cool
Several books have been published on the history and birth of the “Cal Look”, and recently there has been a flood of blogs and fansites. Ron Fleming describes the pioneers’ attitude to life: “We were a colorful troupe who wanted speed, but also understatement. Unlike Hot Rods, popular with racing fans in the 50s, the Beetle hit the zeitgeist of the 60s. “The Beetle was cheap and robust, but also compact and cool at the same time,” says Fleming. “Not a show-off car, but one for individualists.” And as mentioned in the introduction: “You provided some amusing surprises at traffic lights.”
And last but not least: on the dragstrips. The short race tracks, mostly around 400 meters long, on which the fastest accelerators of the tuning scene were chosen, enjoyed steadily growing popularity in the USA from the 1950s onwards. Beetles were initially exotic there, but due to their low weight, they soon began to show their advantages. With more and more powerful engines, the “Cal Look” Beetles on the drag strip became more and more popular.
Less is more – a graphic from the 70s describes distinguishing features of the “Cal Look”.
What distinguishes the typical “California Look” exactly? “Quite simple: leave out everything that is not absolutely necessary. Out with bumpers, rear seats, spare wheels, trim strips, steel rims.” A certain purism combined with clever performance tuning. In order to make the most of the horsepower from the rear-engine of the Beetle as efficient as possible, the Cal-Look-pioneers chose large tires on the rear axle and small tires on the lowered front axle. The “nose-down” appearance of the first “Cal Look” generation was finished.“Our motto was: Minimum weight with maximum performance. And with as much style as possible,” summarizes Fleming. The design of the early California-Lookers was also characterized by painted headlight rings and original monochrome paintwork, sports steering wheels, and an exclusive focus on Type 1 engines.
Stylized design for the entire car
The birth of the collective Beetle fan cult generally dates back to October 20, 1968. On the grounds of the Orange Country International Raceway (OCIR) and the first BUG IN – the first major Volkswagen fan event – was held at which tuners and mechanics of all the relevant models – Beetles and Buggies, Bullis and Karmann Ghias – gathered for a joint meeting. The size of which had never been witnessed before. Until 1983, the BUG-IN was held twice a year and also attracted international attention.

The California Looker
In the 60s, Ron Fleming was one of the pioneers of the “California Look”, still the most popular style within the Volkswagen tuning scene to this day. An interview about the initial explosion of the international Beetle cult.
“I often had the funniest moments at traffic lights,” says Ron Fleming. “I was in my Beetle next to a genuine US thoroughbred beast, twice as big and three times as heavy. And then this bewildered look in my rear-view mirror as the traffic lights turned to green, and within seconds, my lawnmower car achieved a few Beetle lengths between itself and the so-called muscle car.”
It’s 1965, the so-called lawnmower car is a rebuilt VW Beetle called Ovali and Ron Fleming has just founded “Der Kleiner Panzers” (that’s how they actually spelled it), the first and to this day most glorious club of the so-called “California Look” scene. The tuning style, often called “Cal Look” or “Cal Style,” began an explosion of the international Beetle cult. It was initiated in the early 60s by a small group of Beetle aficionados from Orange County near Los Angeles, who, on their own, converted their Beetles into true racing machines. The names of these tuning pioneers have long enjoyed hero status in the Cal-Scene with their tens of thousands of fans worldwide. Joe Vittone and his coral red “Inch Pincher”. Greg Aronson and his “Tar Babe”. The Schley Brothers with their “Lightning Bug”. Dean Lowry in the “Deano Dyno-Soar”. And of course, Ron Fleming with his “Underdog”.
34-years later, Fleming became – for the first time – a guest in Wolfsburg, the birthplace and home of his cult object. The Californian gladly accepts the invitation to a cruise and chat in the cult Beetle “Herbie”, through the Wolfsburg countryside. There is much to talk about regarding the legendary creation of the “Cal Look”.

The 2023 VW Drag Race Season Kicked off!
We had a blast at Hot VWs Drag Day held at Irwindale Dragstrip.
Enjoy the sound of music!
The original HotVWs Drag Days, held at Orange County International Raceway, was launched in the 1980s. The same track additionally welcomed the legendary Bug-In since its debut in 1968. After losing OCIR in October 1983, these two events have remained in the participants’ memories forever.
A drag race, a car show, and a huge swap meet during the same event was a perfect combo, which the VW scene in Southern California had been missing since OCIR’s closure. When Rich Kimball of Periscope Enterprises found out that Irwindale Speedway was going to open in 2002, he moved quickly to restart the hotVWs Drag Day, thus bringing back OCIR’s “good memories” for many. Rich, the promoter of Bug-In and Drag Day to this day with his son Andy, felt the venue was ideal as it offered a 1/8-mile dragstrip.
The top category of the series is the Outlaw Turbo class (Pro tree race with no weight and displacement restrictions). The ETs in this class range from 5.50 to 6.60 in the 1/8 mile, while competitors typically run 6.50 to 7.00 in Super Stock. The rules of the latter go something like this: Pro-tree, air-cooled-only; any full-bodied, rear-engine VWs; maximum engine displacement of 2444cc, no power adders and no vacuum pumps. Pro Eliminator is the class with the most entries in the series. It’s a Bracket class for vehicles running 8.49 and quicker on a 4 tenths “Pro Tree”. In the Real Street class, cars must be street legal and driven all together before each race. They enter 1/8th-mile heads-up races using the Pro light. Engine displacement is limited to 2332cc, while dual-port head intake studs need to remain in the stock location. Other musts include carburetors only (up to 48mm and throttle plates with 44 mm venturi or smaller), and competitors need to run up to 91-octane gas. Finally, the Powder Puff class is for the girls drag racing with their VWs.
