Limited Edition. 1 of 3,600. MiJo Exclusive

Historically, Lowriders were mostly Latino men from Texas, the Southwest, and southern California. Lowriders were first crafted in barrios in the mid-to-late 1940s as unique symbols of personal creativity and Latino cultural identity — a counter-cultural expression against the traditional use of mainstream vehicles.

These iconic cars were actually an evolution of the traditional Mexican paseo, where young men and women would gather in town squares to eye each other and mingle, and the more determined men would arrive on horses decked out like parade floats.

So while Pasadena had its annual Rose Parade, Angelino lowriders cruised at a parade pace from Boyle Heights near downtown into East L.A. and along Whittier Boulevard. The rolling works of art, lowered within inches of the road, showcased lacquered frames with brilliant colors, geometric patterns, religious symbols, and velvet trim.

True to fashion, this 1986 Chevrolet Caprice Lowrider features a highly detailed exterior, real rubber tires on Chrome simulated spokes and dark tinted windows.
