Fullerton, Ca. (BP) - A couple of years back while visiting Detroit, Michigan; I had the chance to visit the world-renowned “Automobile in American Life” exhibition at the Henry Ford Museum (Dearborn, Mi). They had everything in the exhibit from the first Model-T to former U.S Presidential limousines. To my surprise I discovered a Mexican-American-styled Lowrider was among the collection. I remember the feeling of Brown Pride I felt, and the way it reminded me of home. Here I was in the Motor City, the capital of the automotive industry, and this car had a personality all it's own. A personality and style that originated from the barrios of East Los Angeles, was being displayed as a timeless work of automotive art.

The art of creating a Lowrider has developed into an international form of urban expression. Lowrider shows provide an outlet where modern day Lowrider artists share their creations with their peers and Lowrider enthusiast. Where enthusiast can view and admire the artists' hard work and dedication to the craft. The pain staking task of building a car of "Show Quality" can only be realized by the die-hard perfectionist that build their creation one part-at-a-time.

This past December 9th, Brown Pride Car Club and Digital Aztlan organized a local Lowrider Car Show. Lowrider Car Clubs from throughout Aztlan came down caravan-style to support the cause! Every Lowrider and Car Club added their own unique style to the craft. Among the cars on display were: The Gypsy Rose from Imperials CC, Black Magic from Arte CC, and Playboy's 63 from Brown Pride CC. With well over 150 Lowriders on display it was literally a Lowrider Paradise. If the cars on display weren't enough of the most discriminating Lowrider aficionados, the hydraulics show certainly was. The car hopping lured the spectators to the Boulevard. For a scene seldom witness on the streets of Fullerton, of hitting switches and 3-wheel motion action in complete defiance of traffic laws, and the crowd loved it! Drawing load cheers from the crowd, created a stadium ambiance that filled the air with electricity. When mixed with the smoke from the hydraulic pumps formed a lethal combination of pure adrenaline. We attempted our best to bottle the dynamics of the event in our website, for the ones that couldn't make it down this year. We’re taking the energy and momentum of this show and carrying it over for an even bigger and stronger event next year!
