Lowrider magazine died in 2019. But now, Dr. Denise Sandoval, a university professor of Chicana/o studies, has partnered with MotorTrend magazines to make an online digital issue of Lowrider magazine by women, for women, for the obvious publicity, and to champion a cause.

Dr. Sandoval shared how it was a true passion project working on this all-women issue of Lowrider magazine. 

With lowriding popularity at an all-time high, combined with the rise of car clubs exclusively for women members and car clubs led by women, 2024 felt like the perfect moment to spotlight the women who haven’t always received recognition but who have impacted lowrider culture.

This limited-edition revival highlights the women behind the wheel who have fought for their place as drivers, builders, mechanics, painters and welders in a car community few women ever are interested in.

the most obvious thing they forgot, was to remove the mustache from the Lowrider Magazine logo, 

It's pretty cool that some comanies have put the entire archive of their magazines online. I just learned that Mopar Collectors Guide has. (Hot Rod announced they had, and a decade ago Marvel put all their past comic books online)

George tipped me off to this online magazine, ReInCarNation

https://www.rcnmag.com/ezines

This was printed monthly and mailed free of charge. After a while they printed it every other month, finally it went to digital only. 

They finally ceased publishing entirely but have left all issues (cover to cover) on line and they are downloadable. Lots of interesting cars!

look at this magazine cover art... WOW

I've never came across Otto Brennemann's art or illustrations before

I was looking for info on the flying catamaran airplane that Air Via Transport Company of New York had Lewis A Yancey piloting, that I posted last week... https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2023/03/cool-design-similar-to-that-1929-italia.html

When I came across this amazing magazine cover art on Google Books! YAY! I hope you enjoy reading magazines, and love that these are digital, free, incredibly interesting, and lit by your computer/tablet/laptop monitor for optima viewing!

And it's FULL of cool stuff, like these patents! Here's one from Brunelli!! I was just posting (or adding to old posts) about the Burnelli aircraft! 

Since I was looking up Yancey's aircraft, this advertisement led me to this magazine on Google Books..

in 1908, members of the legislature voted unanimously to ban all automobiles from Prince Edward Island. Thanks Andrew P !

 Ultimately the benefits of the new "automobile tourism" could not be ignored. 

The ban was partially lifted in 1913, allowing motoring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

 In 1918, the act was revoked altogether.
