Come with me, your girl Michelle Monique as we tour the newest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, the Best in Low Exhibit. Here we will be able to see iconinc lowrider vehicles of street and show.

“Lowrider” is the name used for cars transformed into cultural expressions and for the dedicated aficionados who make and drive them. Since the 1950s, car clubs and family members have converted older cars for cruising, shows, and competition at events, as they still do today.

The mobile masterpieces made by lowriders embrace art, family, and religion. The lacquered bodies of lowrider cars glow with brilliant colors, geometric patterns, religious symbols, and velvet trim.

This exhibition includes iconic lowrider vehicles and those newer to the scene, all featuring outstanding customization in various aspects of the lowrider build, from paint and metal finishing to interiors and hydraulics. Let's take a look around!
