A lowrider in the lobby of IMAS? Visit soon to see it for yourself before it's too late. Lowrider Culture in the United States August 22 - November 15, 2026 at the imasmuseum Sponsored locally by clarkchevrolet clarkknapprgv One of the incredible outcomes of this exhibition was the outpouring of support and engagement from the local lowrider community. IMAS Curator Marcelo Ramirez Garcia Rojas connected with several leaders of the local clubs and invited them to “bring us the Desert Roses of the Rio Grande Valley.” Smithsonian’s traveling exhibitions are intended to do just that, encourage Affiliates like IMAS to take the exhibition and make it their own, resulting in a unique reflection of our community. As soon as you walked into the museum, you were greeted by a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline customized by Rogelio “Lolo” Loera with pinstriping by Edgar “El Indio” Solis. You will also see car club plaques from the Latin Fantasy, Players4Life, Unique Look, Veteranos, Aztec Empire, and more. These pieces reflect our community and their passion for the art and science of restoring, maintaining, and working on a lowrider.
