Lowrider Competition. ABQ, NM

A downtown scene at night, illuminated by streetlights. In the background, the facade of a turn of the century skyscraper with high arched windows on the first floor. A lowrider, purple and brown with golden scrollwork painted on the side panel and golden hubcaps, launches itself skyward at a 45° angle, the nose high in the air. A clear plexiglass structure next to the car reads off heights in ten inch increments. The front of the car easily surpasses the tallest “120” reading. In the foreground, separated from the car by chain link, is a crowd of people, many of them with their cell phones held aloft to capture the moment.

Lowriders compete to see how high they can jump in downtown Albuquerque on Saturday 6-June-2026.

The city closes down Central Ave - Route 66, the Mother Road - for a few blocks every weekend to accommodate the revelers. Here was a fenced off area for lowriders to strut their stuff.

Accidental Renaissance?
