A lowrider in '74???? Man, that absolutely had to be the start of that trend. </div></div>

We saw several on Van Nuys and spoke with one of the owners of one and he showed us how the springs were cut and the &quot;Lincoln hats&quot; were used with the hydraulics to raise and lower the cars ... all were Impalas back then (and that 66 Caprice). This took place in a parking lot on VNB. People cruised and they parked.

We understood from him that is wasn't &quot;new&quot; it had been going on for some time apparently, how long would be hard to tell.

The world and Van Nuys Blvd was a different place back then ...

There was no machismo &quot;turf&quot; / gang bs, just all types of car people showing their cars and cruising ...

There were the low riders, the hot rods, street machines / muscle cars, the custom vans (wrassle castles) and the jacked up off road trucks, quite a spectrum of interests

Ain't that the truth [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] And that reminds me...the first time I went to Los Angeles was in 1980. My brother-in-law and I went to Van Nuys Blvd for the cruising scene - and I have a <span style="text-decoration: underline">LOT</span> of pictures from that night. I'll have to scan them and post here some time....

Here's some pictures of my Dad's first new car 1965 Impala taken in 1966. He bought the car and less that a year later got drafted, had to sell it. The Pontiac I beleive is a 1966 picture taken in 1968 right after he got out of the Army.

I've seen a couple of versions of 57 Chevy ambulances

but never a wagon like Dogs picture. I'll bet that it's an &quot;offshore&quot; model.

I've been following this thread for quite a while. Thanks to everyone who has posted! Figured it was time for me to share one from my family history.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...e=TheStart.jpg

Here's my Mom's brand new 71 Satellite next to the 64 Fairlane it replaced. That's my Dad's 68 Dodge A-108 in the background. According to the August 1971 date, this would have been right around the time frame I was conceived. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Also, found this video recently. Looks to be filmed possibly in the fall of 1959 (based on the load of brand new 1960 Caddies seen). Really a cool period film, produced by the Iowa DOT.

What a great car watchers video!!![img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]


I remember traveling as a kid from NY down to NC every summer and Christmas to visit relatives and that's the way it was - two lane roads, getting stuck on the hills behind the semi's and endless town after town!
A real shot of Americana!

Rice Holman was not connected to Holman Moody. My 68.5 CJ Mustang came from Rice Holman and I wish they were affiliated but no dice.
