About the Event
As the popularity of lowrider culture has grown in the United States and abroad, the skills involved in creating a lowrider vehicle have similarly advanced, with builders, painters, and metalworkers reaching new levels of artistry and craftsmanship. The Petersen Automotive Museum has celebrated this evolution since its first exhibition on lowriding in 2000 and continues to recognize the culture’s contributions to automotive history. With Best in Low, the Museum turns a lens on the creation of the car itself, as well as on the street and the show—spaces where the craft of lowriding is on full display.
The exhibition includes iconic lowrider vehicles and those newer to the scene, all featuring outstanding customization in various aspects of the lowrider build, from paint and metal finishing to interiors and hydraulics. The development of these techniques and practices over time is explored, and award-winning vehicles are featured.

For those wanting to display a vehicle as a show car - it must be a lowrider style vehicle, with no specific make or model. Generally, a lowrider is a vehicle that has been lowered on hydraulics, and often includes pinstriping, engravings, and other custom touches. So long as the car pays homage to the lowrider style or innovates upon it, we will consider it as a lowrider, but if the vehicle can be grouped into other categories (slammed or stance, for instance) we will not guarantee a show car spot. Those who bring vehicles who do not fit within these guidelines will not be allowed to park in the show car area, regardless of what ticket was purchased.
