Lowriders Stamps – Forever First Class Postage Stamps

Description

Lowriders StampsForever 82￠ | Sheet Stamp FormatLow and slow: that’s the lowrider car. When moving, it appears to glide over the road surface, only to levitate suddenly and bounce up and down. These stamps celebrate the lowrider culture rooted in 1940s-era working-class Mexican American/Chicano communities of the American Southwest — a culture of artistically and mechanically customized cars now honored at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History and emulated by lowrider clubs in other countries.These stamps feature photographs by Philip Gordon of?Let the Good Times Roll/Soy Como Soy,?a blue 1946 Chevrolet Fleetline; and?Pocket Change,?a green 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme; and photographs by Humberto “Beto” Mendoza of?Eight Figures,?a blue 1958 Chevrolet Impala;?The Golden Rose,?an orange 1964 Chevrolet Impala; and?El Rey,?a red 1963 Chevrolet Impala.“Lowrider cars represent a great deal of pride on the parts of the owners, the painters, and detailers, and the car clubs,” Alcalá says, acknowledging the responsibility he felt to do justice to a culture that came into its own in the 1970s — and is still going strong.The?Lowriders?stamps are being issued as Forever? stamps. These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail? one-ounce price.Stamp Issuance:March 13, 2026San Diego, CA?92199Made in the USA
