I love looking at vintage coverage from all areas of the hobby because it is a great way to see what styles were here to stay and continue to stand the test of time and which were ‘of the era’.
I hesitate to use the word fad because it has a lot of negative connotations and some styles tend to boomerang and come full circle in the end anyway.
Furthermore all of us followed a “fad” at one time or another that we either look back on and chuckle or cringe.
In high school I had some huge ass JNCOs man…
Cutting your springs now is a bit of a cheap way out but for some platforms it’s still the only way to get lowStraight up timeless lookThis appears to go back only to 1997 which explains why it still looks pretty relevantI think I could count the amount of these I have seen modified in anyway, shape, or form, on one handPersonally I think this car would look better without the wheel coversThis show looks to be full of all sorts of interesting ridesNot too often I see trucks get the traditional wire treatment nowadays in ONTHubs, whites, and one hell of a fading photoI hope 10 years down the road I can still at the very least host this site and people can visit it for old show coverage to bring back memoriesThe cotton ball show setup is one of those things that seems to go in cyclesOne of the most aggressive, looking chopped tops I have ever seenAnother aggressive chop this time with a radical front endOn the topic of chops I think a bit of one would look great on this, though with all that glass…Looking in the background… is that a Geo Prizim?Not sure what the story behind the light isVega I think? PintoWait another Vega? Or is it an AMC? And another PintoThe amount of attention to detail in the paintwork of a well built lowrider is just insaneSwitch in one hand beer in the other?You know a lot of these guys cherish these photos and use them to remember the good ol daysSome obviously also have crates upon crates of magazinesCan anyone identify these wheels? Love this lookCheck the fashion…Do people still buy copies of Penthouse with the internet? Serious question.That guy looks exactly like the lowrider guy…

Hi Don,
Unfortunately none of the scans are mine so I can’t give you the rights but if you look on layitlow.com long enough I’m sure you could find the owner.
