'I don't think this has ever been done,' Brown Image Car Club President Henry Rodriguez said. 'I haven’t seen any murals like this.”
"I want to show our generation up there," said Henry Rodriguez, president of the Brown Image Car Club.
The Brown Image Car Club, founded in 1970 and one of the first lowrider car clubs in San Diego, is building a five-story mural on a bridge pillar, inspired by lowrider paint job techniques. With a candy apple and root beer glossy finish, it includes 30 pounds of gold metal flakes — enough to paint 18 lowrider cars.
Chicano Park is beneath the San Diego-Coronado Bridge in Barrio Logan, formerly Logan Heights, a predominantly Mexican American neighborhood. The mural replicates images from Rodriguez's photo album, an archive featuring club members, lowrider vehicles, posters of events the club hosted, and the"takeover" of Chicano Park, when residents of Logan Heights gathered together in 1970 to suspend the construction of a highway patrol station on the land designated for the park.
