This exhibition at the Petersen delves into the artistry and culture of the lowrider scene, showcasing custom paint, intricate engraving, vibrant upholstery, and gravity-defying suspension systems.
Featuring over 20 lowered cars and bikes, the show highlights not only iconic vehicles but also the influential Chicano artists behind the movement.
Even if you’re not a car enthusiast, the dazzling candy-colored finishes and meticulously crafted customizations—many with exposed engines and undercarriages—are sure to impress. While you’ll pick up some history, including the movement’s roots in postwar Mexican American zoot suit counterculture, the real joy is in admiring these L.A. automotive legends.
