Low Riders Cruised for a Cure

 

It was the result of a clever mechanic's ability to bypass a California law that created a motoring trend. A 1958 California vehicle law limited how low a person could drop the body of their automobile. But Ron Aguirre came up with the idea of installing hydraulics that could quickly raise the height of the car's body if confronted by police. The trend caught on, especially in Latino areas and before long, plenty of cars were cruising Southern California in their low riders. Low riders soon became popular with car customizers and there were a few that were on hand to take part in the 9th Cruisin' to a Cure for ALS show in Lawrenceburg.
