Honoring the history of the Lowrider Capital of the World
while paving new paths for the scholars of tomorrow.
In 1958, California passed a law (Section 24008) making it illegal for any part of a car to be lower than the bottom of its wheel rims. To bypass this, customizer Ron Aguirre used surplus aircraft hydraulic pumps from a B-52 bomber to create a suspension that could lift the car when police were nearby and drop it back down for cruising.
While the culture started in Southern California, the small city of Española, New Mexico, officially declared itself the "Lowrider Capital of the World." The local culture is so deep that lowriding is passed down through generations like a family heirloom.
