What can I say? We don't have the bumper guard or spotlights, but we do have the beauty queen. Oh, and that gal sitting on the back with the funny hat...
I grew up in L.A. and admired low riders like any other modified car, the yearly ISCA show at the Long Beach arena was a regular "Dad please can we go" for me. Note the car we mostly drove there in was a white '59, but four-door sedan, that was my connection to the convertible we have now. As I'm sure the movie will show us (...when it comes out...if we go see it...), the traditional low riders are part of a more complex culture, for white guys you do it a little differently such as fat tires not 520's, and lay off the decorations like carved-out and chromed a-arms etc. Hydraulics...I am not into adjustable suspensions in any form, but that's a personal preference. Our old Chevy we picked up in '89 and restored ten years later is only springs and wheels away from stock.
