EVENT


I


t was a tropical Cinco de Mayo weekend at the Miami-Dade County Fairgrounds as
the 4th annual Miami Lowrider Custom Car Super Show rolled into the Fair and Expo
Center Sunday. The indoor/outdoor car show festival was presented by Cuanthom
Productions and Lowrider magazine, featuring hundreds of the baddest customized
lowriders, motorcycles, trucks, and bikes from the tropical coast.
Making the trip from the outer limits was the team from Texas known as the “Double
Trouble Crew” and their fabulous Lowrider of the Year '57 Chevy convertible. Also loading up
enclosed trailers and making the long haul in full support of this super event was Anthony
Buchanon Sr. and the offensive front line of the Cleveland Browns with their Fire Alarm
Red '64 Rag (Sep. ’17 issue). Also coming out to join in on a 20x20 display showcase was Kyle
Giuffre’s '61 bubbletop ( July ’19 issue) from GoodTimes Car Club.
The show’s entertainment festivities featured the world-famous hydraulic car hop
competition, the rad motorcycle club “Cartel Baggers,” the exotic display of Red’s Hydraulics
vehicles by the show's entrance, and Florida’s long list of car clubs, including 25th Street Ryders,
LowLyfe, and Torres Familia, to name a few. The festive Miami crowd enjoyed the weekend with
a variety of food from the onslaught of vender food trucks. Just about everywhere you turned
there was a bar, as margaritas and pilsners were poured throughout the day.
The Lowrider-Motorsport Showcase judges were on hand and back where they belong
as they had their clipboard judging sheets full from the tallying of lots of points, compared
to years past as the caliber and quality continues to rise on the East
Coast. Tons of vendor booths were busy all day, like the Lowrider
Clothing booth, Tropical Glitz/Manny’s multicolor custom paint
products, famous lowrider model Dazza, the Batmobile, and the
metal fab factory of Krazy Kutting. There was music everywhere,
and not just the main stage, plus Azteca dancers to bring in the
holiday. But the ones who had a bigger blast were the lowrider
bicycle and pedal car fans, aka the kids, who had fun all day in the
Kids Zone and massive jumper.
For Lowrider magazine, it was a five-day vacation of taping down
floors, vehicle exhibit move-in, meet and greets, along with photography
coverage, but it all went by too quick. The welcomed visit from the Florida
lowrider community faithful were as warm as the weather, so go ahead
and check out the one-and-only Cinco De Miami car show event. Next
year try to join in on the celebration and bring your trailer and whole
family to experience the tropical lowrider super event. LR
