"1964 CHEVY IMPALA" ['INNOVATIVEPHOTOS' ON POOTUBE] RIPPED FROM SX70S . . . . THE SUPREME TEAM HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN BLOGLAND FOR ME . . . . THEY WERE ON BOARD HERE REAL EARLY AND I JUST TOTALLY DIG THEIR SITE . . . . LOWRIDER NIRVANA, SHOTS THAT WARP THE EYES AND MIND . . . . TE NUMERO UNO HOMIES !!!

Skate crew, especially dinosaurs my vintage, cast your mind, or what's left of it, back to Pineapple's interview in 'Skateboarder' around '79, [can't be bothered draggin it out of the closet to verify the date] and featured in the shots were a couple of his then primered Impaler, [as in 'Impale'], low, lean and mighty mean . . . . that's when I started my love affair with the concept of 'low', not just the Chicano/Latino interpretation but the whole physical and aesthetic concept of it, in the fucking weeds from that time on would always be the way I'd want to set up a car, if you can get over speed bumps without bottoming out . . . . the thing ain't low enough !!!

The '64 in this clip is just delicious to my eyes, almost the essence of a stock lookin rig being made to look a million bucks by genny paint, a few judiciously applied pinstriping highlights, a cool set of classic five spokes, narrow whites . . . . and sitting on its fucking guts, the definitive lowrider and the perfect illustration of why the '60 thru '64 model Impalers look so supreme when treated this way. Even the ugliest car in the world can appear so much more attractive with a sweet set of rollers and a belly flop stance.

Finally, with this stunner, not only do you get to go all gooey in the groin region by perving on the car, you also get the heightened visual rush of some absolutely perfect photography that shows the bags doin their trip in combo with the theatre in the round approach to filming it . . . . the reason I stole it from Robbie and his crew is nothin more than laziness, I can just lock on to it and enjoy the vicarious pleasure, and what a fucking pleasure it is, without having to push too many buttons.

If you're into the whole Lowrider thing, magnificent paintjobs, wicked cars, super sexy senoritas and Supreme shots . . . . head on over to SX70's blog and fry your fajitas, stay low, be supreme homies.

  1. Avoid parking the car in the sun for an extended period of time. It will cause the paint to blister.
