Another OT deal....vintage lowrider pics....

[BobT-47P15]

......on the HAMB. The cars shown are mainly 30s, 40s & 50s vehicles,

done as "Bombs" -- with as many extra accessory items as they can

find; lowered, and nice paint jobs. Most tend to be Chevys, but there

are some others. The thread runs for several pages. Even if you're

not a lowrider fan, you might find some useful or interesting ideas.

Hey Bob,

I'm not a big fan of the bouncing cars but you gotta love those vintage Chevs:). Thanks for posting.

Beautiful. I almost bought a friends 47 New Yorker when i was a kid. Now that I have a 48 Dodge Club Coupe I didn't realize how long these cars are. She barely fits in my garage lengthwise.

Somebody 'splain to me why there is such an abundance of Chevys and such a drought of MoPars? I enjoy my Plymouth but I've got a Chevy PU catalog where you could purchase the entire truck one piece at a time. I have to drive 200 miles just to get a door for my P15. I guess life's not fair.

...it's our lot in life, I just got a speedway catolog and if ya own a ford or a chevy your covered...same with alot of other places out there...own a mopar and your scratching your head wondering why they don't represent for us...we're just not as many or as common out there....I'm happy to hunt more for what I need and keep my car than swap brands...too many oval and bowtie cars out there - imho - for what I paid for my clean and 99% rustfree mopar would've cost me twice as much easily for a ford or a chevy of the same year...more easily found parts just doesn't equal out for that, and, I like to be different!

Happy to buck the trend at cruise ins. Hugging the ground is not my style. Looks abnormal. And don't need a car that jumps up and down.

I've always wanted sun visors on several of my cars and passed many of them up because all the lowriders have them and I didn't want people to think that I was part of that crowd.

No strings of dingle balls on my cars.

Lowriders are not my style, but those guys do some damn nice work. And find all the aftermarket gadgets.

And, yes, post 190 is a Chrysler Airflow.
