Artifact Overview
Lowriders transformed older-model, family-size cars into stylish rides with street-scraping suspensions and ornamental paint jobs. Customizers prefer American automobiles -- especially Chevys. Revell Inc., a die-cast and model toy company, created this 1:64 scale model of a 1961 Chevy Impala lowrider that has adjustable suspension.
