Miguel Alatorre & His 1959 Chevrolet Impala - Lowrider Roll Models Ep. 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2017
- In this episode of Lowrider Roll Models, we meet Miguel Alatorre--a veteran combat engineer having served 5 tours of duty in the U.S. Army and a member of Klique Car Club in San Diego. He shares how he came to be in possession of his 1959 Chevrolet Impala and his love for cruising the streets of San Diego en route to Chicano Park. Miguel also describes his harrowing experience on the battlefield, how lowrider culture helped him find himself and rekindle time lost with loved ones. These days, he's channeling his efforts to serve his fellow servicemen by defining new ways for how they can engage with their local community via the local VFW. Miguel is a shining example of what it means to be a true Lowrider Roll Model.

Lowriders are what got me into cars
Speedy Speedy what do i have to do to get into you!
Speedy Speedy same, my dad had one and I remember cruising in it when I was younger, then I eventually moved on to Japanese domestic market cars, when I get a stable job I'm getting a 48 fleetline for sure

Miguel, thank you for serving our country. Especially after all that you went through as a young man, trying to be there for your family! And it is AMAZING to see that you are not only there for your family but also for your brothers and sisters in arms. Takes a lot to do what you do, Sir. Blessings to you and your loved ones!
What a brilliant attitude Miguel Alatorre .
Beautiful Impala
Miguel, you spoke for all of us car nuts. Getting in our cars is our freedom, and sometimes the key to our daily recovery.
Cheers from Canada!
Thank you for your service brother. We will never forget those who have fallen. Remember them by living your life to the fullest.
Us veterans are proud of you.
Keep living and keep ridin!
For all the people bitching about the episodes not being 100% about cars: the series is called lowrider roll models (play-on of role models), which is to show that not all lowriders are criminals or thugs, but that many are normal car enthusiasts, who have normal jobs, and even go the extra mile to help others out, not unlike many car enthusiasts of different flavors of automotive enthusiasm.
Thank you for your service. Without route clearance and combat engineers in general there would've been a lot more casualties. Your importance in the removal of roadside bombs will not be forgotten by some of us. Whether you agree with the politics of war or not does not change the fact that this man did an honorable job and for anyone who says otherwise can go play with IED's .
Big respect from across the pond. The world needs more people like you Miguel. Keep healing brother, keep making a difference. Respect.
Thank you Miguel Alatorre for your service and dedication.
This series is just amazing. Great job guys and thank you for serving our country Miguel
And no one thinks about of that. Its just crazy. Thanks miguel for dedication and positivity and for your service.🙏🏽

My first car was a 59, awesome car. Great story and thank you for your service. I'm a 23 year Army veteran and I respect you for your recovery and continued support.
This story was awesome thank you for sharing part of your life and your adventure .
Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice. Your story gave me Goosebumps. This country needs more Men like you, God Bless.
I wouldn't have expected to enjoy this series, but I really like it. These aren't cars I'd build for myself, but I appreciate the effort that goes in to them. And the owners' stories are very cool.
I'm also a disabled veteran! You have my full support, brother!!! HOAH!!!
*Thank you Sir, For your service. You Sir are indeed a role model*
Amazing....
Always amazing to hear stories about how car culture helps people in many ways.
Such an inspirational and awesome story! Such adversity turned into positivity. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, this hit home. Honestly I never really thought this show would be anything, but hearing that connection to his car, and what makes us all car guys in some way really hit me. Wow.

Man. That was awesome. Thank you Mr. Alatorre.
Thinks bro for service and keep up the good work that you do on them cars bro and god BLESS you and your family 🙏👍
Fellow vet and I use to low ride .. working on my 68 was the best thing I did to help with my issues I had.. well still do but I can relate to this guy . I like how your changing things up at VFW too. Keep it up brother
#1. Thank you for your service #2. Glad you made it back and was able to mentally recover #3. Hopefully one day I can build my own Lowrider ('63, '61, '64 and '72 Impala's are my favorites - In that order)
This story was touching. I'm not really a lowrider guy but this makes me want to be one.
👍😎
another great episode. real people, real car enthusiast
Much love! Great story. :)
Hats off to you sir thank you for your service and the car is absolutely gorgeous
Loving these!
Love this video.
Love this series
Man ! This is powerful testimony. 🙏
That's great! Keep it up man!!
I think I get it now. Thanks for helping to offset the negative stereotypes. A man doesn't build a car like that and put so much attention into the details if he doesn't have respect for himself. That is what pushes people to greatness, believing in themselves and taking on big problems.
*thats why you make me crying this life story. 😯*
This man deserves a like
wow..great story..best of everything to you and your family.bro😊👍👍
Great story, and beautiful car.
thanks for the vidéo.
I really hope this series gains more attention.

Awesome car. Amazing story. 👍
Thank you Sir!!!!
This is the best video ive seen from motortrend 👍😎
thanks for your service bro
I remember the day I sat in a 1959 Chevy for the first time. I was 14 years old and my friend from school's father owned a Chevrolet dealership. It was the day before the grand announcement of the new 1959 Chevrolet. Back in the day, it was a big deal to hide the new models til the end of the year and make a big production of the showing of the new car. It was hidden in a barn near the dealer. When we opened the door and I looked at that car, it was like, "Wow", this car looks like a spaceship or an airplane at least. So exciting. Has always been my favorite Chevy.
Thank you sir !!!
great story, and attention I like to see. Truth is acknowledging your own. I am a disabled veteran who keeps going too. I seem to be an old guy, 26 years the same battles continue. A lot of pain.
Thank u for your survice u have my respect ✊
Thank you sir for your service I salute you
What a badass. True American hero right there

RESPECT!
I'm a Lowrider model myself... been threw it all.... owning a lowrider was just a dream of mine I thought to my self because of the circumstances that it would be impossible for me to own one... now I own a 87 el camino 3 pumps 8 batteries, I own a nice house, been happily married going on 8 years got a beautiful family and a great job... lowriding is what keeps me in the same path I'm on now.....
Thank u Miguel for your service.
So true Lowriding was not meant for gang banging, it's meant for art, family and cuture.
God bless you my brother thank you
Thank you for your service. Awesome job on the 59 and your community service.
So nice
Good story Miguel, god bless
Nice change of pace +Motor Trend Channel, i think incorporating more of these types of videos would be good, especially with Veterans, they need a spotlight to increase awareness and to help their brothers and sisters.
Thats Badass
AMAZING BROTHER RIDE ON!!
Crazy how there's still ppl who can hate on something they spent no time or money on.. do u.. fuck u hatin for.. that said awesome video thank you for ur service

HOOAH! God Bless You Battle.

But I already live here...
Wayne Howarth except California used to be a part of Mexico; thus, many Mexican citizens were already living there when the US started the Mexican-American war to gain that territory. Along with Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. So Mexican's didn't invade the US. In fact, it was the opposite.
At least we have 100% free healthcare anytime, anywhere inside the country, good luck having an emergency with your TrumpCare
keep it up!
helluva story, helluva car!
Cool ride I have a 59 Elcamino hope to finish it one day. I don't live in your country but I will still say thank you... I get it
Cars are meditation, its medicine for the soul🌞
Respect!
This is a very nice story and shows lowriders are family oriented. I still get people that assume im a drug dealer because i have a lowrider
Hero! Also, cool car.
May God bless you Miguel!
Im am also a 12B .. mad respect big bro.
Great story! Beautiful car and I'm glad there is an upside. Some of the comments make me sick but others make me proud too. These vets have given so much and many continue to suffer and all have sacrificed in ways that most cannot imagine so if you can't find or say something nice about that, then just move along. Don't feed the trolls.
Is that the 59 from the 1993 Lowrider Magazine called “Poison”?
Thanks man i hope that switch filps
