Here in California, it’s part of the “lowrider” (Chicano/Mexican-American) culture that started sometime in the 1940s. You’ll see many of these in Southern California, especially Los Angeles. Many of the vehicles have hydraulics on them and are used as show vehicles or for special occasions such as weekend cruising with car clubs. There is even a magazine dedicated to these vehicles called Lowrider Magazine. https://youtu.be/MQAHp-vRW9Q?si=PV4oQpllacVXEOFc They’re kind of fun to go look at.
