The Postal Service has released a video about its new Lowriders stamps.
The five Forever stamps celebrate the customized vintage lowrider cars and the culture that surrounds them.
The 3-minute video shows recent and archival footage of lowriders cruising the streets and on display at shows.
The video also features comments from Gary Barksdale, chief of the Postal Inspection Service; Alberto Lopez Pulido, an ethnic studies professor at the University of San Diego; and Rigoberto “Rigo” Reyes, co-founder of Amigos Car Club in San Diego.
“These cars are rolling canvases. They represent a culture born out of the Chicano movement in the Southwest during the 1940s and 1950s,” Barksdale says in the video.
