Gayle Anderson was live at the new Petersen Automotive Museum exhibit “Best In Low: Icons of the Street and Show.” According to the museum, the exhibition includes iconic lowrider vehicles and those newer to the scene, all featuring outstanding customization in various aspects of the lowrider build, from paint and metal finishing to interiors and hydraulics. The development of these techniques and practices over time is explored, and award-winning vehicles are featured.
It is noteworthy that Best in Low coincides with the end of anti-cruising bans in California, which were first implemented in the 1980s and significantly impacted lowriding. The streets can once again be an exhibition space for the lowrider community to show off their artistic and technical skills, even as lowrider car shows continue to proliferate, offering an alternative space for the appreciation of lowrider craftsmanship.
