Lowriders: Cars & Culture

September 17, 2016 - May 14, 2017

This fall, the Longmont Museum will open one of the first-ever exhibitions to showcase lowrider culture. Lowriders are bountiful in Colorado and rich with history. Longmont is home to over 200 Lowriders alone. This exhibition will give visitors a behind-the-scenes view of how these rolling works of art are created. From pinstriping to upholstery, hydraulics to wheels, visitors will discover the varied skills needed to craft these beauties. Lowriders: Cars & Culture will feature cars, custom bicycles, pinstriping and upholstery examples, old-school military hydraulics, vintage posters, magazines and historic accessories all related to the lowrider scene.
