Story & Photography By Brandon and Shannon Briese
Fans of the Lowrider were surrounded with colorful multi-layered paint jobs, sparkling gold and chrome rims, raised hydraulic jacks, and airbrushed murals that reflected the owner's personal style and design. The interiors flowed with everything from plush velvet, snake skin, custom wood paneling, and audio and video systems that would make Too Short himself jealous.
Thankfully, the over the top car show confirmed something that I have always believed, that Denver is a serious classic car haven. Local car clubs represented the best in not just Lowriders but in the classic restore as well. Vintage cars, trucks and bikes were lovingly pimped out by not just their owners but a team of friends, family and peers. Years of primping were obviously poured into these fine machines. You could say the show bordered on Miss America style pageantry.
Shout outs must be given to some of Colorado's top contributing car clubs. If you are a classic car or lowrider appreciator, you have to check these guys out: Natural High of Denver, Old Memories of Denver, East Side Lowride of Pueblo, Rollerz Only, Sweet Dreams of Denver and Viejitos Car Club of Denver. I was beginning to think that the good ol' classic car restore and lowrider guys were a dying breed. I'm happy to say I was wrong. Whether you are an enthusiast or just a spectator, Lowrider Magazine's 2011 Tour offered something for everyone. This tour is not to be missed.
