Vroom! A Customer I bought this book as a present for a friend from New Mexico and ended up wanting to keep it.The pictures and stories are rather amazing and anyone with a thing for cars should check out this book.
The exceptional photographs evoke a uniquely New Mexican experience that will capture the interest of many readers.. Padilla's text complements the photographs with profiles of the cars' owners and creators, and Arellano's dialogs in low-rider slang give the reader a taste of the lifestyle. Parsons has photographed many of these cars and their owners, capturing them in the New Mexico landscape of adobe churches and wide blue skies. They have amazing custom paint jobs, upholstery, steering wheels, and even murals on the hood, trunk, or sides. This colourful volume is a celebration of the customised low-rider cars that are a vital part of a particular Hispanic subculture in New Mexico
