Get bajito y suavecito (low and slow) at the opening of Lowriders, Hoppers, and Hot Rods: Car Culture of Northern New Mexico. We’ll have cars in the lobby and the exhibition, along with a souvenir photo booth, a video loop screening of the movie South American Cho Lo, and a 2 pm lecture about the history of the exteemed Lowrider Magazine by its former editor, Ray John. Free to NM residents.
Don’t miss this first set of cars on display for the exhibit:
A 1983 Chevy Monte Carlo owned by Orlando Martinez Jr., an Española resident and one of our security officers;
A 1948 Chevy Fleetline owned by Albert “Sonny” Jaramillo of Santa Fe;
A 1931 Fort hot rod owned by Pete Vigil of Chimayó;
And the 1950 Mercury “Johnny Tapia lowrider” once owned by Albuquerque’s late boxer and now owned by Chuck Montoya of Albuquerque.
