I'll never forget the conversation I overheard between my Uncle and his boy when I was 8 years old. We were walked down the street and there was a lowrider parked next to the curb. This was in 1974. My Uncle said to his kid, "Lowrider, or Highrider son?" as he pointed at the car and also a sky-high '55 Chevy parked across the street. The kid said with much enthusiasm, "Highrider, Daddy!" I think of that every time I see one of these "Street Freaks". They called them Highriders back in the day.
That trans am with the elcamino blended in was crazy. All of them rolling works of art though. A time in automotive history we will never see again. Now it's about ambiguity. Nothing can be special or look different. Everyone does the same thing as everyone else.
Great video...tyvm for posting! Growing up in So Cal in the 60's and 70's, I was treated to seeing cars like these all over the place. The wild paint jobs, custom body work, and Krazy stances, was what it was all about. Of course, at the time, I was reading all manner of car magazines too...Hot Rod, Car Craft, and one-off Special Edition mags featuring wild drag racing pics, car shows, etc. Was a great era, for this car-centric kid (who still appreciates them today). ✌😎
I remember those days with wild looking cars. @1:50 isn't that the car used in the movie "Corky" with Robert Blake? How about an EV with a straight axle and oversized plug receptacle! Thanks for the memories.
I think lowered vehicles for the street suck. I have a 1986 Chevy Crew Cab 1-Ton 4X4. It has a 12" lift with 40" tires. One day I was at a car show with it, and I was parked at the end of a row of lowered trucks. My truck was surrounded with people looking at it while nobody was looking at the lowered trucks. The guys with the lowered trucks got mad, and told me I had to move my truck.
This video just makes me think of one thing. I hated Cragars back then and I still hate them now. Probably the most classic aftermarket wheel ever sold, I just never liked them.
It seems that every car journalist calls this the malaise era for cars. Does anyone see anything malaise going on here? I can't. Can someone please change this narrative?!

Brother these are some of the coolest cars. They bring back so many memories. Thank you for sharing these with us.
Beautiful American cars hands down there’s nothing better 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I like the American mutations in Canada and Australia
Lot's of classics. I built models back in the day based on many of those style cars.
Yeah, they where some of the coolest cars! I had a bunch of Hot Wheels cars that were based on them!
Nothing beats good old muscle.
I always liked the car's and paint jobs

No 4 doors were harmed making this video.

Who was the band that played the last song
All the music is in the video description, but the song was called the Jam, by the Mini Vandals.
It's a pity that you don't subtitled it...
Yes,people were getting that high back then lol! And having a way better time than you!
