Throughout our venture in documenting and photographing rare and amazing cars, we've been fortunate to find Latin Pride Car Club.


The El Paso borderland is where Latin Pride originated over 20 yrs ago and continues preserving its lifestyle of lowriding in El Paso. The car club sports an impressive fleet of classic lowriders, bombs and trucks and have a taste for oldies music, dance, art and car shows.


Latin Pride car club is a major supporter of art and murals and host Lincoln Park Day, a culturally rich event that promotes Chicano art and features one of El Paso's most colorful car shows.

 

In 1997 the club cruised it's cars in "Down for the Barrio", a movie about the struggles of an ex-con trying to rid his past as a gang member.

We are proud to include in our gallery these exclusive photos of Latin Pride car club. Enjoy!
