Proponents say iconic custom cars are as firmly rooted in New Mexican culture as the Zia symbol or red and green chile. 'These are beautiful works of art. They're mobile. They move.

They tell a story of who we are and our way of life,' said Lorenzo Otero, lowrider enthusiast.
Another bill on the table would create a specialty Lowrider Capital of the World license plate.
