This past weekend in El Paso, engines were revving, chrome was shining, and women were front and center at the 2nd Annual \u201cRolling with the Ladies\u201d Car Show. <\/a>The event brought together lowriders, custom builds, and a strong sense of community which proved that car culture in the Borderland is alive, evolving, and deeply rooted in identity.<\/p>\n

And now, that same culture is getting national recognition.<\/p>\n

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is celebrating lowrider culture in a major way with the release of its <\/a>\u201cLowriders Forever\u201d<\/a> stamps and collectible keychains.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lowriders Forever Stamps Celebrates Chicano Culture<\/p>\n

The release of the \u201cLowriders Forever\u201d stamps pays tribute to Mexican-American and Chicano communities across the Southwest, <\/a>and for us El Pasoans this is something that hits close to home.<\/p>\n

Lowrider culture dates back to the 1940s, where everyday cars were transformed into rolling works of art that were designed to ride \u201clow and slow\u201d while showcasing creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s literally the same energy seen at events like Rolling with the Ladies, where each vehicle tells a story far beyond what\u2019s under the hood.<\/p>\n

I fondly remember growing up in El Paso and heading to my grandma\u2019s house in the lower valley and seeing lowriders drive around and always thinking, \u201cHow cool is that car!\u201d<\/p>\n
