You can love lowrider culture or you can hate it. But one thing you cannot deny is that for the past 40-plus years, it has been part of San Jose’s heritage as much as silicon chips, fruit cocktail and the Winchester Mystery House. That’s why it’s both great and important that the newest exhibition at the San Jose Public Library celebrates both the stunningly tricked-out cars that bounced up and down at Story and King and the largely Mexican-American community that loved them.
