Low Rider Mopars
Does anybody remember led sleds? Kustoms? The Autoramas?
In the fifties every manufacturer was swapping to 14" wheels to lower their production car's profile. Most early A bodies came stock with 13" wheels. Remember the "Forward Look" of Chrysler in '56? (or was it 55?) What about the Hudson Hornet? What about the wing cars, E bodies, or Chargers? They weren't "jacked up" so they can't be musclecars. Right?
My car life started in the 70s and lowriders were very much a part of my awareness and car culture. I've worked on quite a few since then. Would I build one for myself? Probably not. But to dismiss them and say they are not a part of our Heritage is both ignorant and insulting.
Cliff, do what makes you happy. You're the one that has to look out the window and be pleased by what you see. Let your imagination run.
Well Put Rev,...I had a kid that worked for me in the early 80's when I lived in SoCal,...He was pres of the local lowride club, and He had a slammed Doba,...It was a sharp car,...Those kids put some serious wrench time in their rides and It showed,....
It's not always about hot roddin,... Some of us just like to cruz, Some of us believe everything should be a daily driver, and some of us have to be Factory Correct...Every person has the right to build a car that reflects their own taste and personality,...And I damn sure ain't gonna put anyone down who puts in the wrenchtime on ANY Mopar,...
I'm not a fan of them fancy paint jobs and pan scrubber suspensions, nor am I a fan of "It has to factory correct" either,.....I'm more of a Look lo but not be lo, muscular, stick to the road in the twisty's, primer black, chirp gears kinda guy...
Besides, the world would be a boring place if we all thought the same...
You go Cliff...
