Featured History Transitioning from Customs to Low Riders

Bones ?? Will he be at Hippy Killer today

 

Hey Roger
I was with Kutty last night getting ready for the show. We’re here now at the show.
That is Bones’s Rivi that I posted. Not sure if he’s going to make it out today or not

 

This thread has me a little confused, my understanding is that Lowriders evolved from Bombs which were stock bodied cars that were lowered and had many factory or dealer accessories added.

Whereas customs were just that custom, dechromed body modifications chops, channeled shaved etc....

...as the lowriders evolved, they shared some of the same characteristics elaborate paint and interiors but generally did not have body modifications.

 

Putting chronological and geographical differences aside, I agree with your definition. Depending upon your age and your location, 'your mileage may vary' a bit but you nailed it.

 

Speaking with the pioneers personally, it developed out of different interests. Some of the low riders were custom guys, some where into bombs and some were into quick rides.
