Rain or Shine | A little drizzle didn’t stop any of the action
New Year’s Day is one of the most anticipated days for the general public, but it’s quite possibly one of the most critical days for lowriders. For as long as I can remember, New Years’ Day for the lowriding community meant that you needed to find out where the Majestics car club was hosting their New Years’ Day kick-off. In years past, the Majestics have held their soiree in Long Beach, over in Santa Fe Dam, but this time around, it was held in North Hollywood, and as expected, they packed a full house.
This year the two main attractions seemed to be Jimmy Humilde’s impressive collection of rides and surprisingly, even the Lowrider Magazine rig was in two and made an appearance complete with their standard giveaways and promotions.
Many of the usual suspects were on hand and among the clubs in attendance were: Majestics, Individuals, Low Bottomz, South Side, Just Us, Way of Life, and Low Low’s car club just to name a few.
Another surprise appearance – which wasn’t advertised – was the showing of the old “El Joker” from Red’s Hydraulics. This legendary hopper marks the end of an era, and for many – myself included – it brought back a ton of nostalgic memories from yesteryear. We’ve got a ton of photos to share, but for now, we’ll post up a few but check back in a few days because we have plenty more and a few announcements that will be made shortly.

Speedy and High Class CC never disappoint with their line up of cars.

On the opposite end of Jimmy Humilde’s line up and the Lowrider rig, was another showcase of vehicles brought by none other than Speedy from Speedy’s Metal Finishing. In what seemed to be an endless line up of fly rides, Speedy and the crew bought out a barrage of Impalas that looked like a bag of Skittles exploded. From purple to black, orange to yellow, there was something for everyone and it was definitely a picture worthy site as it always is.

The Dia De Los Flojos picnic packs a full house, and the rides on hand are a throwback in time. Mini trucks, lowrider euros, lifted 90’s style 4×4’s, lowriders, classics, you name it.
The Best Lowrider Photos of 2021
Built-in the 1980s by the famous Swedish hot rodder Bernt Karlsson, the Pink Lady is the ultimate custom Beetle. It’s a testament to Bernt’s incredible skills and imagination, and it shows just how far one can push when they have the drive to get the job done!
If you’re a Cadillac fan, the Cadillac Fest is an annual event that you don’t want to miss out on. Here’s the second part of our two-part coverage.

From streetcars to show cars, the Blvd is open, and custom car builders are ready to put on a show. While its reemergence started in the early 2000s, many are happy, and others concerned about County officials put a stop to it once
For most, a car is nothing more than just a means of convenient transportation. As for custom car builders, especially lowriders, a car is much more than that. For them, classic cars become an extension of the family and so much more.
