1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe - El Patron

The project took over one year to build, but the hard work paid off, as the Master Deluxe became a unique bomb as well as a sure-fire head turner. It was showcased in the Phoenix Lowrider Magazine show and took home numerous awards, including People's Choice, Best Paint, and First Place in the '30s class. Cesar vows to hit the show circuit hard, thanks to the unconditional support from his family. He wants to thank them for being behind him every step of the way. Be sure to keep an eye out for Cesar and "El Patrn" hitting a show circuit near you.
