This set of five stamps celebrates the vibrant culture of lowriders, customized cars with hydraulic systems that allow them to be raised and lowered. The designs, by artist Michelle Muñoz, depict five classic lowrider models: a 1969 Chevrolet Impala, a 1963 Impala convertible, a 1964 Chevrolet Impala, a 1972 Ford LTD, and a 1966 Chevrolet Impala. Each stamp showcases the unique paint jobs, custom wheels, and distinctive style that define these iconic vehicles.

Originating in Mexican American communities in California after World War II, the lowrider movement is a rich artistic and cultural expression. These stamps recognize the ingenuity, pride, and community identity associated with this unique automotive tradition.
