Southern California has a long history of developing automotive subcultures and then exporting them to the rest of the world, but no niche is quite as flashy or culturally iconic as the lowrider. And no lowrider is as groundbreaking as the Gypsy Rose, a 1964 Chevrolet Impala created by Jesse Valadez while he as a member of the Imperials car club in East L.A. Extravagantly painted by local man Don Heckman in pink, with hundreds of ornate roses and perfect pinstripes, this third-iteration Gypsy Rose has been turning heads on every street it cruises for nearly five decades. In the 1970s, it featured in the opening of the sitcom “Chico and the Man,” and in 1980 it appeared on the cover of “Lowrider” magazine.
Early in 2017, Gypsy Rose was photographed and documented by the Historic Vehicle Association for inclusion on the National Historic Vehicle Register. Under this program, the story and images of the Gypsy Rose will become part of the permanent archives of the Library of Congress.

Beautiful car and a beautiful story. WOW! That got registered and recognized by the United States Government. I don’t hear that much about modified cars being that lucky. Its like having a museum piece of history.

MAGA actually means Made America Great Already- You guys are a very deserving of the recognition- Worldwide

First Lowrider mag I got as a 13 year old had Gypsy Rose as the poster. I hung it up n was hooked. A little scrawny white kid from Wisconsin. My grandpa's last car he built was a 60 Impala.... he asked me what kind of wheels n I showed him the story on Gypsy Rose... next xmas he brought me in the shop n their was 4 Dayton boxes. He says open up one with a chuckle. Crazy how a car can inspire n move people from all different backgrounds n areas of the world. Love the story the pride the family n dedication these car clubs do n represent.

@0616ko 6 лет назад

Never have liked the whole low rider thing but this was a very special piece. Very well done.

Shout out to Don Heckman, the Talented artist who did the Gypse rose artistry......There would have been no iconic roses in gypse rose without him!!!!!!

@thewaltbrownellchannel9318 3 года назад

That's Strange. I thought it was WALT PREY was the one that painted it! Am I wrong?

@bennylomeli3163 5 лет назад

Much respect being in low riding myself taught by my own dad cruising down Whittier Blvd in the 70’s in his 59 Impala 2 door hardtop I am his oldest son and sitting in the swivel seats bar in the back lights on ceiling A track going hitting carshows I new of Gypsy Rose back then because my dad was from Imperals at one time this story makes me appreciate what our culture has done I love the brotherhood that is going on till this very day and the low riding continues in fact I just picked up a 1960 Chevy Impala 2 door hardtop and I can’t wait to create my own thoughts and imagination towards it

Hagerty! Tx so much for presenting Cars and their history in such great documentaries.. LoVe It!

@ImTHATguy... 5 лет назад

Really glad I got to see the full story of the car that I was always hearing about and seeing pictures of. I knew it had significant lowrider history, but this documentary really opened my eyes as to how much of an impact the car and these folks had on the lifestyle and community. I was a big time lowrider for years, and still have a project 1950 Chevy waiting to make it's debut. We joined other local clubs and participated in toys for tots, community service, benefit carwashes for cancer centers, and family BBQ'S at the park. RiverSide C.C. Spokane, Wa.

@realityhurts8697 5 лет назад

When I was little in the 70s me and my cousins would cruise Whittier w the cars they worked on. Now I build odd ball cars. Volvo 240s,and the like.

@ImTHATguy... 5 лет назад

Oh, and at 2:56 that sure looks like one of the cars that was in Corvette Summer. Should be an early 70's Riviera? Had custom lights and grill.

@johnmiddleton9005 3 года назад

How come the 1960 Gypsy Rose isn't brought up just curious

@romeoblanco9569 6 лет назад

to be considered a lowrider does the car have to have hydraulics or can it be a lowrider if it has airbags and not hydraulics???

@thewaltbrownellchannel9318 3 года назад

Funny how Walt Prey, the guy that painted it, is not mentioned. 🙄

An Imperials club without a single MOPAR?

@styldsteel1 6 лет назад

We can't say that for sure. the video doesn't show if there is one or not. The video says one out of every 3 or 4? cars in LA were a lowrider, there had to be a MOPAR mixed in

@AustrianAnarchy 6 лет назад

Point one out shown anywhere in the video. Especially an Imperial/Chrysler Imperial.

@mustanggang5.0 6 лет назад

Why didn’t they just rebuild the 2nd car after the gangbangers destroyed it?

@styldsteel1 6 лет назад

Maybe they downplayed the amount of damage done to the original? I don't know..I'm just guessing.

@styldsteel1 6 лет назад

if it were just a smashed windshield and a dent in the quarter, to me this sounds repairable.

@mustanggang5.0 6 лет назад

styldsteel1 makes you wonder where the original one is at

@realmaindrianpace 6 лет назад

So it was painted by two white guys...

@goldsilverandiamonds 6 лет назад

Check out Robert Vasdeslice's lowrider paint jobs he's another white guy who does/did cutting edge work.

@mini_worx 6 лет назад

You make it seem as if that's a bad thing? Unlike you, I think it speaks volumes to the car culture that connected different races to build such a beautiful piece of moving art.

@realmaindrianpace 6 лет назад

Unlike you, I know that Hispanic is not a race.

@mini_worx 6 лет назад

Maindrian Pace - I never mentioned the word Hispanic in my comment. Not sure where you got that from.

@mini_worx 6 лет назад

Yes, I understand that we are all part of the human race, so it was my mistake to use the word "Race" on my previous comment but I still question the original intent of criticizing the fact that people, from different ethnicities, came together to build such a beautiful car.
