Ever since he was a young boy, Steve Hernandez Jr. has been around the Lowrider Culture. He has been particularly immersed within the “Bomb Scene” in the San Fernando Valley,
where he grew up admiring those early makes and models. Steve’s dad owned a 1948 Fleetline,
so Steve would often accompany his dad all over town to chauffeur Proms,
Quinceneras,Weddings,
and the occasional trip to the Pomona Swap Meet for a parts hunt.

Like most children of Lowrider enthusiasts,
Steve started with a Lowrider Bicycle,
and as he grew into legal driving age,
he purchased the classic 1964 Chevy Impala. He cruised around in the Impala for a while,
but eventually sold it,
before turning around and buying another one. Steve took the second ’64 and restored it,
added hydraulics,and drove it around for a few years. The need to own a Bomb kept tugging at Steve,
so he made the tough decision to part with the Impala and use the proceeds to find a Bomb. He had his mind set on following his father’s footsteps,and building his own Fleetline.
