The United States Postal Service has released a new set of 'Lowrider Forever' Forever stamps, featuring photographs of five classic lowrider car models from Southern California. The stamps celebrate the unique artistry and culture of the lowrider community, which has roots in working-class Mexican American and Chicano neighborhoods across the American Southwest.

Why it matters

Lowrider culture is an important part of the Chicano and Mexican American experience in the United States, particularly in cities like Los Angeles. These new stamps from the USPS help recognize and preserve this vibrant automotive art form that has been marginalized in the past.

The details

The 'Lowrider Forever' stamp set includes five different lowrider models: a 1946 Chevrolet Fleetline, a 1958 Chevrolet Impala, a 1963 Chevrolet Impala, a 1964 Chevrolet Impala, and a 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Each car is given a unique name, like 'Let the Good Times Roll/Soy Como Soy' and 'The Golden Rose'. The stamps were designed by art director Antonio Alcala using photographs by Humberto 'Beto' Mendoza and Philip Gorden, with additional artwork by Danny Alvarado.

  • The 'Lowrider Forever' stamps will be officially unveiled and issued out of San Diego on March 13, 2026.
  • The stamps will go on sale nationwide on March 14, 2026.
