Gypsy Rose is a beautifully painted 1964 Chevrolet Impala designed to go “low and slow” when it cruised East LA in the 1970s. It was known as one of the most extravagantly painted lowriders of the period and was featured in the opening of the 1970s sitcom “Chico and the Man.” Gypsy Rose was featured on the cover of Lowrider Magazine in 1980.

This story needs to be a movie. One thing that really caught my attention is how this car club had morals and values and separated themselves from the gang life. We need more of that, most car clubs now are rebellious and pretty much dangerous to them self and to others acting foolish and making the car club more of a gang then a genuine lifestyle of morals ethics and standards. ORALE! Keep up the good work

Morals and values? The only reason the Jesse had to build the '64 is that a rival club destroyed his first Walt Prey, rose muraled '63 because it always came in first at shows and they were jealous. Some set of morals, ethics and standards, lol.
I thought I was a car enthusiast for knowing makes and models by looking at them, but boy am I wrong! I barely scratch the surface when it comes to the aspects of car culture! I need to level up fast and HVA is helping me a lot with that, thank you!

Being in the car community has so many layers because there are so many different aspects of it and each area has some new culture.
R.i.P Jesse Valdez Sr. And Jesse Valdez Jr. May you both ride in piece.

I remember cruising Wittier Blvd. in my Cadillac Fleetwood back in the day and as I looked over to the next lane he comes Imperials cruising a super clean Cadillac of their own. That moment was an inspiration to me and now all grown up I got one clean 64 Impala of my own! (Tulsa Oklahoma)

I’ve lived in Oklahoma all my life been my favorite car since I was a little kid I’m only 24 lol but I’ve always like that car had my eye always but oh well lol
Absolute street hero, the crowd at his funeral speaks by itself on the influence this guy had on the scene, and in the streets, and all by being an honest, straight forward guy, and what's even better is that his legacy lives on with his family and all the people he either influenced or saved 🖤🌹
The best documentary I’ve ever seen in my life and shame on me for not knowing the full story of the famous Gypsy Rose. I literally cried watching this. Thank you Mr Valdez Sr and Jr and the whole Valdez family and friends. Thank you for starting the culture. I can only hope and pray I come from TX to LA just to meet the family. Walt and Don you are true legends of the game you deserve much more credit for the Mona Lisa you created. God bless you all! RIP Mr. Valdez Sr and Jr #fuckcancer
I love lowrider because of this man R.I.P Jesse God bless his family and the car club.. respect from Sydney Australia
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT LOWRIDING WILL NEVER DIE!! MIUCH RESPECT ALL MY PEOPLE!!
I'm 47 years old and remember that car in magazines when I was little. Legend!!!

I heard about this car when looking at a video of a famous crip OGs (O.G. Turtle) sister interview.. they asked her about the lowrider days and she mentioned the gypsy rose and they showed it with a picture of O.G. turtle standing next to it
My grandpa told me he remembered watching Chico and the man the first night it came out and the next day he went back to school, he told me every one was talking about gypsy rose, R.I.P Jesse Valadez
Thank you Jesse Valadez for your vision , your talent, your imagination , and your dreams!!!! RIP carnal!!!
I towed this bad ass vehicle to and from several photo shoots. The best was at the Sixth Street Bridge, the day before teardown of the Sixth Street Bridge. Downtown Los Angeles. Priceless memories. Rip Jesse
This my fave sort of youtube rabbit hole to go down. Love my cars, bikes, trucks, the road the smell of burnt gasoline from a pack of harleys in front of me you name it! I live for the road it is what I do and love. And the low rider scene is so cool. Love the cheap effort of just loading the trunk or boot up depending where you are from to hit them bump stops for the aesthetic gains.
Although I'm generally not a fan of lowrider cars, I find this to be quite attractive. I love the paint job on it, the colours and patterns on it make this lowrider a rolling work of art. :)
I met a guy from imperials once in lbc like 3 yrs ago at village fest dude was chill af he had his son and his wife and still offered me and my sons mom chairs that he had cause we were sitting on the curb cool ass dude never got his name talked bout life n what not
My van was always parked at Chicano Park in San Diego. A rare Chevy G30 1989 with a 350, federal government surveillance vehicle.My plates were special. It was an historical vehicle and it was my camper when I was a student at SDCC. I miss it a lot and the Chicano culture. I am Puerto Rican like Chico. I went back home missing my friends
Really cool. I was a little girl in la in 80 and always remember black guys loving low riders but we never tried to take ownership. We always knew they came from the Latino community. We respected their culture & we love freaking low riders too. Thank you Jessie. I never knew the story or why or who. Great man
I had the privilege of seeing Gypsy Rose at the Petersen. Automotive Museum in LA a couple of years ago. What a magnificent car! Everything about it was first rate. Luckily for me, my wife knows about my love of cars, she did not say anything about my 7 year restoration on my ' 64 Corvette, so she just let me spend lots of time looking at Gypsy Rose.
Great part of American history. Peterson museum had a really great history of lowrider event about 10yrs ago really wish they bring it back.
Thank you for taking the time and putting this Documentary together much respect!!
It took me a second to realize who/what Gypsy Rose was when I saw the title on my recommended videos and then it hit me... Gypsy Rose... the cover car of Lowrider Magazine from I think it was 1992... holy crap I was 16 when I first saw those pictures of this car in LRM in 92 and I prob haven't seen it since then... takes me back just seeing this beautiful machine. Great little piece here, no clue why YT recommended it to me but I am so glad I decided to click on it. I learned a lot abut this car, it sure does have an illustrious past. Bravo. edit: Though I am no longer into the Lowrider movement or style of cars I do still have an infatuation and major LOVE of automobiles and have owned a 25th anniversary Firebird Trans Am (with 60k original miles now) for the last 27 years.
Know where you've come from and Know your roots. And never quite dreaming. Bravo!
Living in New Zealand decades ago I read about Low riders in R&C or Hot Rod, featuring Gypsy Rose, And that was the 1st time low riders were featured in such a big circulation magazine. I think i even have a copy here somewhere.
Mexican & latin american culture is all in the web of Native American culture...a giant web full of creative, fun,beautiful & appealing ideas/traditions. An accomplishment from one Indio of any part this land, is an accomplishment for every Indio of this land; north, central & south. ✊🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🤝🏾
I didn't know car documentaries were supposed to make you cry. Wonderful story, heartbreak in the middle, yet the story is not done.
Amazing story. Gave me chills .

This car brings back so many memories I remember in 1973 I helped one of your members in metal shop he was making a twisted bar steering wheel for this car the imperial will always be the best to me
When I first Arrived in LA I went to the Peterson and saw Gypsy in person and she brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely beautiful.
I love lowriders, I can’t wait to bag my 05 deville gotta repaint her too and she’s gonna look like a bass boat with all the sparkle in the pearl white gold paint.
So much history in this country from all walk of life and nationality . Much love to my SA

Beautiful man, beautiful car and beautiful story

Thanks for the history of this car club, car, and the culture. A bunch of people that got together, and channeled their energy, through their love of cars, art, and to be a good influence in the community! Thanks for posting this!
Gypsy rose is a star in her own right!👍👏, Chico and the man, I remember that show in the 70s growing up!👍👏🙏🏡🇺🇸
My dream car is a 64 impala and watching this video with all those amazing people makes me wanna get one ☝️ that much more and sooner. Then sharing that car with my family and all my friends that wanna enjoy such a beautiful ride like that.... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Use to see this rolling historical classic on the show" Chico and the Man " in the 70s. 👍👍💯
I grew up around lowriders and lowrider bikes and cruise nights were the good years now a days nobody cruises. Car clubs rarely do much. Maybe its where I live I guess. For a while here in Oahu Hawaii had all the Lowrider bike clubs that would ride through the island every Friday night and cruise the strips and then that stopped.

Nowadays it seems like the young guys want nothing but street takeovers and they perform dangerous donuts, often injuring bystanders.
OUTSTANDING VIDEO! Watching from Tulsa,Ok liked #210 R.I.P. Jesse Valdez. May God keep blessing all his familia & IMPERIALS C.C.
I got to see Gypsie Rose when my daughter read it was on display at the Peterson car museum she said can we go, vamos! They even made a lifesize pinatas of the car, beautiful video

For the first time in 26 years of my existing me and my pops dreams finally came true. We just picked up our first 1964 Impala ss. What the future has to come is another chapter. I must admit I’m excited to how this car will turn out seeing this video is inspiring. Im 26 and seeing my daughter reaction to the car was priceless !

This is a wonderful but sad story I grew up in the 90s reading and looking at Lowrider magazine never knew this car was out there that's awesome
I saw this car in DC and didn’t even know what I was looking at. What a shame.

Grew up in La Puente, went to Bassett High school and left for the Army in 1977. Cruised the Blvd many times. Knew of Roy Hoyos and his bad ass rivi. Good times. My high school buddy joined the imperials in the early years. Henry Rod, Live close to the high school. Good to know some of the guys
Best cars I’ve seen all three!!! Thanks
Fantastic film. Thank you for sharing this.
I got married last year and moved to East LA. I'm not a car guy but I love seeing the lowriders on the weekend. Ever since I was a kid I loved seeing what these guys would come up with next.
Awesome man, awesome story, and awesome car.
