Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Shot by a member of a lowrider car club -- possibly called the Pharoahs or the Ambassadors -- in the 1970s, this color home movie shows a ribbon cutting ceremony and a parade of lowrider cars into a parking lot. The occasion isn't completely clear, but possibly this event marked one of the very first lowrider conventions / contests -- likely in a parking lot at a school in East Los Angeles or San Bernardino. The film starts with a ribbon cutting ceremony at a parking lot with what looks like a politician or two (:01). Cars start driving in to the lot, past where the ribbon was cut, drivers smile and wave (:39). Vintage model Chevy and Fords drive in, one car is a 1940s Ford panel van, and a pickup (:54). Some cars start to leave the lot (1:37). A car with the words "Mexican Graffiti" (a play on the title of the "American Graffiti" movie). Men drink beer and hang out near a van (2:12). A group of people (2:18). Some lowrider cars, a few are Chevy Impalas (2:27). A woman smiles in her Ford Thunderbird (2:33). A gold low-rider bucks up and down (2:44). People talk near cars (2:39). Cars lined up (2:56). Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
