Sample Image Title Summary
Church magazine Church (2006 - 2016). This title is a glossy, artistic photo book magazine published by Coby Gewertz. He created a brand merging his two greatest passions -- the customized classic automobile and his relentless appetite for high quality design. The magazine began with a 5X5" format and switched to a 6X6" format with the second issue. As he said when it was released, "... no articles, bad tech info, scene reviews or anything of the sort". We believe there were 10 issues printed, each with a print run of 3,000 issues.
Deadend (2004 - ??). A custom and lowrider magazine published out of Salinas, California. The title focused on more old school customs (and some lowriders), and they stayed away from modern cars and show cars. We believe the print magazine has ended, but the business entity is still active on Facebook.
Firme magazine Firme (1979 - 1981??). A lowrider lifestyle magazine, much like Q-Vo and Vajito, featuring culture, events, car shows and cars. It was published by Benjamin Hernandez from San Gabriel, California starting in May 1979.
Grinder magazine Grinder (2004 - ??). Grinder was published twelve times per year by BRaG Publications in Moreno Valley, California. It featured custom cars, lifestyle material, car shows and the requisite female models.
Kemp Gazette Kemp Gazette. See KKOA Trendsetter.
Kemp Leadsleder Kemp Leadsled'er. See KKOA Trendsetter.
KKOA Trendsetter KKOA Trendsetter (1992 - present). In 1978, Jerry Titus met with Darryl Starbird in Wichita Kansas and discussed the idea of promoting lead sled or kustom car shows. The first show was in 1979, and although less than successful he was determined to continue. He formed KKOA with a group of 14 other like-minded enthusiasts in 1980 and ultimately held the first kustoms nationals. This was followed by the Leadsled'er magazine, but production costs caused the organization to produce a simpler newsletter, Kemp Gazette. This lasted until 1991 when KKOA created Trendsetter, a full-format magazine which premiered in Spring, 1992. It is provided to club members still today and has an annual print production of 16,000 issues.
LoCompany LoCompany (2004 - ??). Little is known about this magazine. The original website was locompanymagazine.com.
Low Rider Happening Lowrider Happening (1979 - 1980??). A short-lived title published by Hugh Stillman from Downey, California. It covered cars, event updates and general news.
Lowrider Classics Lowrider Classics (1998 - ??). These appear to be "best of" limited series issues, also from Lowrider magazine.
Lowrider Edge Lowrider Edge (2002? - 2005?). A newer lifestyle title from Lowrider featuring "new age" custom cars, trucks and motorcycles. Several titles in the Lowrider brand were consolidated into this title at an unknown date.
Lowrider Scene Lowrider Scene (2011 - 2018??). Originally launched as a DVD company in 2005, the publisher branched out to create the first print magazine in Spring, 2011. As indicated on their website, "Unlike other magazines, and whether we focused on cars, models strollers or bicycles, we chose to focus on the fine details not normally seen in other publications and show the ultimate trend setters in the culture, including cars that have made the biggest impact on our lifestyle. Our ultimate goal is to bring you the best pictures by some of the most talented photographers in the world, and print them in high quality paper, for your enjoyment."
Lowrider Truck. A magazine featuring lowrider trucks. It eventually merged into Lowrider Edge.
New Lowrider News Bulletin New Lowrider News Bulletin (1977 - ??). Produced by 5-Star Productions in San Jose California, the editor and graphic artist was Riney Ruiz. A seemingly short-lived title, the original graphics and artwork were reminiscent of Low Rider magazine in the mid-1970s. The newspaper-style newsletter was a communication vehicle among lowrider clubs across California. The publisher solicited poems, news, opinions, event coverage and art from any club or individual. The stated goal was to present an alternate viewpoint from the media who reported lowriders as gangsters. (Editor: This title is definitely worth more research).
Q-Vo Q-Vo (1979 - 1981?). This title was a lowrider lifestyle magazine that competed with the original Low Rider magazine. Content had featured cars, interviews, female models and the "other vibes" section. We believe the publisher was R.U. Martinez.
Scrape Scrape: The Lowrider & Euro Magazine (1997 - ??). Scrape was published in 1997 by Comunicaiones Lopez in New York with Terry Cook as the editor.
Street Cruizin Street Cruizin' (1991 - ??). Started in Winter, 1991, it was labeled as the lifestyle magazine for custom lowrider and leadsled enthusiasts. Otherwise little is known of this periodical.
Sunday Slacker Sunday Slacker. A custom car magazine, likely published since 2000. It is well composed in terms of style, photography, layout and print quality.
Technical Lowrider Technical Lowrider. This limited run title was published by ATM Communications, the same publisher for Low Rider. The editor was Luis "Johnny B." Lozoya. We are uncertain on the start and end dates as we have only found one printed issue.
Texas Finest Texas Finest. This magazine was published quarterly out of Killeen, Texas and featured Texas-based hot rides and custom cars. It was glossy, high quality magazine. We are uncertain as to the start and end dates, but we've seen issues in the early 2010s.
Traditional Lowriding Traditional Lowriding (2005/6 - ??). A magazine covering more traditional lowriders. It is clear the publisher and contributors love custom automobiles and their history. Everyone who contributed to the magazine builds custom vehicles for themselves. Otherwise little is known of the title's publisher.
US Kustoms U.S. Kustoms (2008 - ??). A "kustoms" magazine published by Miscelleanous Publications in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was published by Aaron Labato in the "little pages" format.
Vajito Vajito (1981 - 1996/1997?). Another rare lowrider lifestyle magazine like Q-Vo and Firme. It started shortly after the original Low Rider ended.
