Saturday's event was the first of three city-funded cruises planned for this year; the next ones are scheduled at Kimball Park from noon to 4 p.m. on Aug. 12 and Sept. 9.
When Marcos “Rabbit” Arellano pops the hood of his red, 1962 Chevrolet Impala, it would be wise to wear sunglasses before looking inside.
Over the years, however, lowriders became more associated with culture, families and craftsmanship. During the pandemic, Arellano’s wife Jovita, president of the United Lowrider Coalition, recruited people through Facebook to begin cruising again and to work to get the ban lifted. On Saturday, more than 100 cars pulled out of the park around noon for a cruise down National City Boulevard and surrounding streets. Mayor Ron Morrison stood at the intersection, waving cars forward.
Morrison noted that cruises have been allowed on occasion even before the ban was officially lifted. A national lowrider show and cruise has been held at Kimball Park each September since 2019. This year it will be funded by the city for the first time.
