Lowrider was an American automobile magazine, focusing almost exclusively on the style known as a lowrider. It first appeared in 1977, produced out of San Jose, California, by a trio of San Jose State students. In 2007, it was published out of Anaheim, California, and part of the Motor Trend Group. The magazine was closed in December 2019.[2]
Lowrider focused on all aspects of lowrider culture, from cars to music and fashion. It also covered political and cultural issues related to Chicanos, and funded an annual scholarship program.[3] The magazine also released a series of music videos[4] through their label, Thump Records.
Lowrider's monthly circulation was less than 56,000 at the end of 2011.[1] In 2000, the magazine's monthly circulation was more than 200,000.[3]
