Where are the Low Riders originally from? Los Angeles o San Jose?

Answer 1

LA

This from the web.

Low riders were originally unique to Chicano culture then becoming part of Latino culture as a whole, but have since become common to urban youth culture in general. Today the low riding scene is diverse with many different cultures, vehicle makes and visual styles. Essentially all the options available to today's custom automobile creator are also available to the low rider builder, and low rider style varies greatly from region to region.

Answer 2

Low Rider Jeanwear was originally developed in 1948 by Steanware Jeans.

Low Rider vehicles first made their appearance in the late 1930's and early 1940's. The caddy's and big Buick's. I have no idea when the idea was stolen by the Mexicans but I know that it showed up in the early 70's.

Answer 3

I would say Los Angeles. THey used spare parts from the aerospace industry to modify their car. I don't think San Jose was that important to the Aerospace industry.
