Old School 1960s Lowriding

Rare film footage from 19681969 featuring Allen Duke and his 1964 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport. Shot on standard 8mm movie film using an old spring driven, fixed focus (no zoom or auto exposure) movie camera. Old timey effects are real, not added The location is Wilmington, California. Some of the scenes were shot on Avalon Blvd, then a big Sunday afternoon cruising strip in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Notable landmarks are at 1:12 when Allen turns left from Avalon on to Fst. and the original Red Blackie s burger stand is seen in the background. This was the southern end of the cruise route. At 1:25 the Chevy scrapes past the Union 76 station at Avalon and Denni St. This was about the northern end of the cruise and a good place to park as the station was closed Sundays. Or at least you could park there until you got rousted by The Man, as frequently happened. Ahhh, good times The car had hydraulic lifts, two pumps, one for the front and the other f br, br,
