Lets see some lowriders from the late 60's on up.

Those are the kinda pics i wanted to see Thanks!!!!

 

Hadda dig, but I found one on the Lowriders site. Always liked them big****-boats (I had a '66). They always seem to smell of cigarettes inside... Not that that's a bad thing.

Not that it's a lowrider look, but Cragars on the**********walls look great on these cars, the stock wheels and tires were really deep into those wheelwells. At least 8 inches wide and reverse offset.

What color is it now?

 

i guess ill sneek a pic in since there are other newer cars pictured all ready im picking it monday and as soon as i get home im putting my air ride and cragers on it. but im worried about my cragers there just standard offset 15x6" i think it may not look right unless there dished

 

hey grouch, i always thought the first "rose" was a 64.i remember them using it during the opening to "Chico and the Man".or was that the second one? -jimmy-

 

never mind grouch, your right (like you've never heard that before).found the story on it.as a kid, i always remember the 64 though. http://www.lowridermagazine.com/historybook/0000lrm_history6/

 

The one in THIS pic looks like a 64 to me, and it is the second incarnation. It's still around and looks great. I personally liked the 1st one better. A little simpler

 

GREAT stuff there.

 

Ok I'am not really into lowriders to much.
But some of the early stuff is very intersting and a nice crossover between custom cars and lowriders.

Some time ago I found a series of polaroid photo's taken at a lowrider/custom car show in the late 70's early 80's (I guess, if anybody recognize this show, please let me know) Here are some of the more intersting cars at the show.

 

Rikster those pics are killer man!!!

 

OG's way back then used to say "it's LIFTED",,meaning its LIFTED,,,,,

the first lowriders used aircraft artillary landing gear pumps,.,,most of them where PESCO's,,,,AKA SCREAMERS!,,cuz the had a SCREAMING sound when you worked them,,,THEN,,,peopel started using pumps from LIFT GATE pumps off of big trucks with hydraulic operated lift gates,,,,,,,anyways,,,LIFTED,,, was the term BACK IN THE DAY,,,,,

 

This thread needs Mejia.

 

my Dad was in the same car club during those times with Jesse,,,THEE IMPERIALS ,i rember him telling the story to me when i was a lil kid baout the 63,,,it was*****ed up,,some*****s took baseball bats and chains to it,,,(i think the circulated story is someone threw a brick at it)

back then,, (late 60's early 70's era)there was alot of "gang bangin"(if you want to call it that)********* between alot of the "famous lowrider" car clubs that are so well known today...

 

hahha,,so he can talk about cars in movies and running for HAMBER of the YEAR??? haha

i love cars, and i love 5th grading "i got two lovers" like mary wells

 

i think "life style" cars were in the cheech and chong scene when they were hopping the van

 

pirtty good lowrider caravan in "corvette summer"

 

i dont have my glasses but i think its a "lifestyle" plaque on this lowrider http://youtube.com/watch?v=tQbvnI7bklM

 

yup, after they gave their van a Stop Sign Face lift, that impala rolls up and has a LifeStyle C.C. plaque.

 

Welcome to the party tweakbot.

 

EXACTLY. Lifted or juiced were the 2 most popular terms, if not the only 2 i remember

 

You won't believe how often my buddy and me were driving around in our daily drivers,listening to that song and were kinda thinking we're sitting in an**** draggin and hoppin' Lowrider.He later had a black '64 SS droptop.That Cheech & Chong movie sequence is still a favorite and we watched it a million times.Lifestyle C.C has really cool cars,South Side C.C. as well.Traditional Lowriders and Bombs are super cool.Angel Dust rather is a Custom but cool pic anyway...

 

my big bothers 1st

 

Here is a boatail Riv......not '60's though...

and Sam, AKA*****reynolds, doesn't know anything about lowriders, he painted his five-six red and white for cripes sake....
