Thanks to Bill Burleson for the photographs and the heads-up on the Low-Rider Arte and Culture exhibition at the Santa Fe Place Mall. 

"The mayor of Santa Fe proclaimed May 22, 2016, to be Lowrider Day. The occasion was a New Mexico History Museum exhibit celebrating lowriders and lowrider culture in Northern New Mexico. Lowriders from miles around cruised to the Plaza to show off their cars. In the years since then, a group called New Mexico Lowrider Arte and Culture has honored the day each May by holding a lowrider show downtown. Last year, the event was canceled. This year, they’re moving and expanding the event. The New Mexico Lowrider Arte and Culture Exhibit opens at Santa Fe Place Mall from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 1, with a public car show, lowrider exhibition, and art show. The event also features food, musical entertainment, and a lowrider hopping contest..." Santa Fe New Mexican

There are a bunch more great photographs to come from this show. And you may have seen our post a while back on the High Art of Riding Low exhibition at the Peterson Museum in LA in 2017. Here are some more Burleson photographs of the Low-rider street scene in Santa Fe. And Anne Lennox's '48 Pontiac low-rider in Chimayo, NM. Also a Dodge Dart Seneca in Chimayo.

AL posted a few weeks ago on Kristin Bedford's Cruise Night, a stunning book of photographs on LA's Mexican American lowrider community. 

And that's a...90s? Cadillac
