THE NEW FACES OF THE DALLAS LOWRIDERS

Sisters Mercedes and Mariah Mata grew up around the lowrider culture, but it wasn't until they got behind the wheel that they went all in.

   The Mata sisters like to ride in “La Mera Mera,” Mercedes’ all pink 1984 Monte Carlo. They park on Jefferson Boulevard in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas before a Dallas Lowriders meet up on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023.

   The two are some of the youngest in the group, but have recently led the local lowriders in a revival.

   “We just hope to continue inspiring other girls to get involved in this and spread the culture, all for the love for the culture and for la raza,” Mercedes says, referring to the Latino community.
