The ground-floor windows of USPS headquarters at L’Enfant Plaza in Washington, DC, are now displaying five large images of the recently released Lowriders stamps.
Each one is 16.5 feet tall and wide and faces onto the plaza from the lobby windows.
A QR code on each image directs to a recent post on the Stamps Forever website exploring the roots of lowrider car culture as well as why Antonio Alcalá, an art director with USPS, felt it was important to use photography as the medium for the stamps.
The five cars featured are “Eight Figures,” a blue 1958 Chevrolet Impala; “The Golden Rose,” an orange 1964 Chevrolet Impala; “Pocket Change,” a green 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme; “Let the Good Times Roll/Soy Como Soy,” a blue 1946 Chevrolet Fleetline; and “El Rey,” a red 1963 Chevrolet Impala.
“Response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive,” Angela Bradley-Foxx, a retail product specialist, said of the display, “particularly from the automotive communities.”
