Raul Paniagua: The San Diego Lowrider Pioneer | Cultural History of Lowriding

Raul Paniagua is one of the pioneers who helped define lowriding in San Diego. Featured in the KPBS documentary Everything Comes From the Streets, his work represents more than custom cars — it represents culture, identity, and history rooted in the Chicano community. Lowriding was never just about cars. It is art. It is an expression. It is a tradition passed from one generation to the next. In San Diego and throughout California, builders like Raul Paniagua helped shape what “low and slow” truly means — craftsmanship, pride, and community. This is the story of how it started… and why it still matters today. From the streets to the show. LIKE FOLLOW & SHARE   / wireddownpodcast
