A new exhibit at the San Antonio International Airport celebrates our city’s car culture, specifically lowriders and the artistry behind these vehicles.
“A lot goes into lowriders. It’s an extension of the person,” said Clint Westwood, San Antonio lowrider liaison and exhibit curator. “Most of these cars are dedicated to somebody from their family, from their past.”“It’s beauty, it’s mesmerizing. It’s watching the kids seeing the lowrider for the first time going, ‘Wow,’” said Westwood.“These cars are meant to be seen. They’re not meant to be kept in the garage,” said Joe De La Rosa with Lone Star Lowriders.
Lowriding is a way of life for these car owners. Stacy Stewart was born into the San Antonio car culture. He installed thousands of dollars worth of hydraulics in this car, and it definitely makes an impression as it bounces down the streets.
