Bouquets and Brooms: Putting Those Pesky Palm Fronds To Good Use

The art, culture and history of lowriders is celebrated in a new exhibit opening this weekend at the Petersen Automotive Museum. It’s called “Best in Low.” Bryan Stevens is the museum’s director of exhibitions; he worked with lowrider owners and artists to build an exhibit he says is more about the cars themselves.

Stevens: “It's about family, it's about culture, it's about expression. Each of these cars has an enormous amount of history behind it.”

“Best in Low” opens to the public this Sunday (5/12).
