Traditional Lowrider Magazine Dead?

I heard some news yesterday that Traditional Lowrider Magazine has pulled the plug. The only reason I am posting here is because there was a huge thread with great pictures and expectations. Apparently something fell through. I know I subscribed after the post on here and loved my first, and possibly last, two issues. Anuone know anything about this?

Did Primedia own that one too...???

R-

 

I'm new here, but are Traditional Lowriders appropriate for this site?

 

YES ....... if you don't like em . don't respond to these threads ....

back to the question .... i would like to know if it's true as well . i hope not . i like that magazine .ALOT ! .....

 

Traditional Lowrider Magazine????
Where is (or was) it available???
Now I'm curious.....always dug mild lowriders before all the over the top murals.

 

do a search for it there was a good thread on it . it also says where it is avail... and gives the website etc........

 

i like my truck low and fast...does that seem weird?
covers both ends of the spectrum in this place i guess.

besides, lowriders are the customs of the 70's after the hot rod lifestyle went into hibernation for a decade or so...72 monte carlos and gran prixs are the coolest lowriders...how many of todays customizers learned at the feet of their fathers and are controling what we see at the weekend cruises and shows all over town?
don't sell the lowriders short.

later dudes

As a matter of fact they did own it.

 

I heard the same thing. So i asked the chief editior he is fellow HAMB member and he said it will be out again.I dont think Primedia owned that mag I know they own LOWRIDER and that mag is going down from what i heard they keep on firing employees to keep the overhead down.

 

nope !

 

I read it was dead on Layitlow I will try to find the thread and post the link

 

lowrider mag is dead....lowriding isnt......Bristol street in Santa ana still still hitting hard in the OC......some of u guys should come check it sometime

 

That would ****. I subscribed sight unseen and have not been disappointed yet.

Good magazine with great pictures. Did I mention the hot girls????

 

when and where on bristol?

 

Here is the Layitlow thread

****.

 

That is exactly how I feel....The talent in that mag is incredible. I heard the guy who was backign the mag took the money and left. They are saying that they are honoring people who paid for subscriptions, we'll see, and they are putting out another magazine along the same lines. It is a shame. The mag is great. Nothing like looking through a mag and liking pretty much every car....and the girls.

It seems like the same thing that happened to Boulevard Mag.

Amen to that question... the last time I knew it was for real was back in 84-85 before the city decided to clean it up, take out the houses and make Santana look "decent".

I'd be interested since that was our Friday and Saturday night entertainment when I was a kid... that and Centennial Park on a Saturday.

 

so are the cholos still banging on bristol? if so thats no place for somebody from los angeles county! between the cholos and the cops your sure to get poped by one!

 

Where you'd stumble upon this "fact"? Same place everyone else gets their American Hot Rod / Boyd info?

Nope, we don't own it. And beyond that, Lowrider--the one we do own--is anything but dead.

Don't believe the hype--too many people with too much false info.

 

Lowrider is not the magazine in question. The magazine was Traditional Lowrider and was presented on this board a few months ago. Anyone who thinks Lowrider is in trouble should go pick one up sometime. I can't imagine the advertising revenue that they are getting. They are up to date and always looking for new markets to advertise. Smart magazine. You can tape three of them together and have a thin phone book.

Trad. Lowrider apparently had the man who fronted the cash pull it for "other ventures". Hopefully they will put out a comparable magazine because it did fill a void in the market. Not the Lowrider isn't a good magazine but Traditional Lowrider narrowed their focus to a target audience. Very good pics and hoochie mammas.

Yeah, I understood that from the get-go...others didn't, and moreover were ***uming that TL was a Primedia publication. Just clarifying false "facts".

 

If it is indeed dead, they should pull the plug on this
