Lowriders are an integral part of Southern California’s car culture and it’s thanks to Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and other West Coast rappers that they have become well known all over the world. As a California resident, Jay Leno couldn’t ignore this phenomenon, so the latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage is dedicated to lowriders.
The video features Lowrider Magazine’s Editor Joe Ray who talks about the birth of L.A.’s native automotive art form, as well as two owners of spectacular classic Chevy Impala lowriders, Chris Majera and Brandon Brusca. The amount of work and detailing put into these cars is absolutely mind-blowing, as you are about to see in the video.
Obviously, Leno couldn’t just stand and admire the cars, he had to take them for a ride too. Scroll down to hear his impressions on lowriders.
