El Mexicano

85 Fleetwood Brougham Cadillac

 

Way back in 1998 Cruz Madrid and three friends use to cruise around Fort Stockton, Texas, in their cars.  Cruz use to put a sticker on his windshield that said "Brown Pride Rider".  One day Oscar, Pompa, Chicho and Cruz were kickin' back when Cruz suggested they start a club.  The others agreed.  The club was name Brown Pride Riders to represent our people.  Cruz wanted to show people our culture and to show the positive side of the lowrider lifestyle.  It is a way to make a difference in the way peoople think about lowriding.  

"My wife, Sylvia, is very supportive of my hobby.  She lives it with me everyday.  My kids love it too.  I have been President  of Brown Pride Riders C. C. since 1998.  For 8 years I have worked on my car and have loved every second of it."

The trunk covertly carries six group-31batteries.  The interior was done by Cruz including installing the Pioneer CD player with the two 12 inch woofers and amp. 

 

     

The babe has two Pro Hopper pumps which work of six batteries with four switches.  It has four ton Showtime Springs in the front and One ton springs in the back.  All the lift work was done by Cruz in his backyard.  The frame is reinforced with 1/4 inch metal add ons.

 

The convertible conversion was also done by Cruz.  This Cadi rides on 13 inch LA wires with 155/80 Peerless tires.
