Style Kings

The first Friday of the month during the dry season, vintage car owners gather in Oakland at a working burger stand and show off  their rides, eat burger stand fare, and dance to records from the '50s.  The cars are varied, beautiful, and all ages (someone had a Chevy Malibu similar to the one I'd owned with a Very Clean New engine).  Some of them are Art Cars in the sense of being the canvas of the owner.Low rider fender with "Style Kings" in script (and flourishes).

If there is ever an auto challenge, I am Ready.  

This car is a low rider, of the type made famous by War ;-) with twelve or so batteries to run Serious hydraulics to lift and lower the vehicle.  (Yes, it is on the ground there.)  I chatted with the owner last month (I think).

I love the graffiti-esque quality of the lettering, and also the abstraction of the photo. Absent your explanation, I'd have no idea what I was looking at, but it would still be interesting.
