  • Lowriding is not bad and police aren’t either! Rudy Campos has been doing them both for 17 years! In this episode of Roll Models, we are featuring Mr. Rudy Campos Jr. who is the proud owner of a ‘46 black Chevrolet Fleetmaster and a member of the BridgeTown Oldies Car Club from the San Gabriel Valley. From becoming an Explorer and then a Cadet for the Baldwin Park Police Department he transferred over and has become a 17-year veteran of the Irwindale Police Department.

    I love all types of cars. I've been obsessed with anything with 4 wheels and an engine since I can remember. This is a beautiful car and an amazing story. Love this series.

      Pocketdimes 10 I'm a fan of anyone keeping these cars alive. These were the best of times. When we made beautiful things, people were classy and glamorous, and everything felt new and special. Far from perfect but everything just made sense. I'd hop in a time machine and go back in a heartbeat.

      R T agreed! I grew up around muscle cars and old VW's. As I grew older my appreciation for different builds and styles grew. I'll pretty much watch anything car related. My kids say I'm obsessed, but it's ingrained in me. My dad was a car nut too. Cars of this area are so beautifully designed and well made. I love seeing people keep these wonderful pieces of history alive.

    Wow, wow wow. Thank you Officer Rudy for sharing your story, your kick ass car, and your beautiful family with us. Heading your way from Chicago to visit family in L.A. soon... I hope we'll get the chance to stop in Irwindale and shake your hand. Your dad would be incredibly proud.

    Beautiful hobby Rudy. You have stepped up for your family in the wake of your father. He rangatira koe (your a leader). We had a 1947 4 door fleet master. It cost 20 pound (40 dollars) back in 1966. It was our family car for a 15 years. We went everywhere in it, all 13 kids. From New Zealand/Aotearoa. Noho ora mai (be well Rudy).

    Rudy, you are an inspiration. Thank you for being a first responder. I am an old guy and back in the 50s they said hot rodders were gangsters too. I live in Oklahoma and we do not have low riders here, but I greatly admire the incredible craftsmanship.
    Be safe and Via con Dios!

I found this video looking for other post war chevys after buying a barn fresh 1946 Stylemaster 4dr, that was originally black, but repainted 2 tone army tan colors. You are a great inspiration and I can't wait to cruise in my new Chevy in support of veterans and meet people like you. Stay cool❤✌

  • @carlv8168
    @carlv8168 4 года назад

    Great inspirational story, Rudy, and I'm glad that you dispelled perceptions out there that Latino car clubs are associated with bangers and crime. I'm also sorry to hear that you lost your father to gang violence. He would be immensely proud of you and your accomplishments. Hat's off to your mother, too, for doing her best to protect you and your sister from the throes of gang life. Your '46 Fleetmaster is absolutely pristine and awesome. Readers should know that the victory "V" hood emblem stood for victory of World War II, and that the '46 Chevy was a carbon copy of the very few '42s produced before all car manufacturing came to a grinding halt for war effort production. Glad that your father chucked the original 216 engine in favor of the 235, which was way more reliable with fully-pressurized lubrication and rod bearing inserts (versus babbitted type). Also, had a better pushrod side cover than that junky one on the 216s that always seemed to leak.

    Right On Rudy... I've been Lowriding since the early 70's and I am down to my last lowrider.. my 1939 Dlx. Car Clubbing moved me away from gangs so the notion that Car Club members are Gang members is not accurate. I've seen racism all my life but thigs have gotten better. Alot of me getting harrased by police was my attitude. I was an angry young man so I ended up on the floor more times than I can remember. As I grew up, went to college, married, had children... My attitude changed completely. I am no longer angry. I no longer let someones attitude towards me get the best of me. I live a Happy life... and I still Lowride... and by the way.. I lived in Baldwin Park for a few years.. Cheers

    My maternal grandfather was a police officer. He left the force after 20 years the year I was born. Needless to say I couldn't do it. The patrol, the stake outs, all that would drive me nuts. But here's one thing, low rider, ricer, gear head never judge a book by its cover applies.

      Rudy, can you help me identify a car I had in the early 60's. Never knew if it was a 48 or earlier. 216 Vacuum shift, 2 door, the trunk hinges were on the outside. Never had the registration, drove it on the back roads at nite. When I went in the service, my dad gave it away.

  • @burn1962ride
    @burn1962ride 6 лет назад

    Love the story well told. My only problem was that he said people think cops are racist and stereotype and he said that they weren't.........then when his cop buds found out he had a lowrider they asked him if the administration knew......Huh? Isnt that a stereotype? Why would it be their business? Either way love this video. Thank you for all you do for your community.

    • @clarkyokomizo4285
      @clarkyokomizo4285 7 лет назад +2

      The crazy paint and chrome with engravings murals wild interiors was the evolution of pushing the boundaries of making your car unique from everyone else's. Tuners and hot rods have the same results with ricers and thrown together death traps but most lowriders that you seen driven are understated and simple with the main investment being the frame reinforcement, hydraulics setup/batteries, wheels and engine...look at almost any other style daily driver and the same care is given to the chasis, suspension, brakes/tires and engine modifications.

    I would get jr a Craigslist wonder mobile for college, university. The students leaving class can be careless, if not reckless, and thus risk an accident that would damage the lowrider.
