Flashback: Make's Looker

Long-time West Coast Aircoolers president Make Railo built this late model Cal Looker during his last years in automotive painter/bodyshop school in late 80's. For a late 80's Finnish Looker Make's car is extra stylish and did not follow those Tekniikan Maailma project's ideas which became popular.

Probably due to young guy's enthusiasm it is well built since it shows still no wear and it is still in Make's ownership. In photo above Make's Looker is photographed in 1995 VW Expo in Turku. Next to it is action-cars-Pete's '74 in two-tone purple and silver it wore at that time.

West Coast Aircoolers member Kari Kuusharju spent number of years in Belgium in 90's and early part of this decade. He started his own shop Kari's Garage in there. This 356 pre-A photographed in our Bug Run & Bad Camberg trip in 1999 was his personal ride at that time. He participated to the classic Liege - Rome - Liege road race with it.
