Lowriders at the Petersen
1939 CHEVROLET
This carefully detailed sedan was built by Al Perez, a member of the car club responsible for many early lowriding innovations. A lowriding aficionado since the 1970s, Perez describes his car as a preservation vehicle because it so closely resembles an unmodified version of the same make and model, complete with six-volt wiring, a 216-cubic inch engine, and factory-appearing paint and upholstery. To retain its authentic look, he added period-correct accessories such as fender skirts, a picket sun visor, full disc hub caps, fog lights, a cigarette holder, and parking lights.
