Reviving the Icon: Gypsy Rose
In the world of lowriders, one car holds a special place—Gypsy Rose. Back in 1974, it made its debut on NBC's "Chico and the Man," a 1964 Chevrolet Impala painted in pink with roses adorning the body. Beyond TV, Gypsy Rose became a star at car shows, even landing in the Petersen Automotive Museum in 2007 and gracing the National Mall in 2017.
Named after a famous 1940s exotic dancer, Gypsy Rose became the first lowrider on the U.S. National Historic Vehicle Register, a symbol of American heritage.
In recent years, RC lowrider enthusiasts like David Liani and Jason Beal have recreated the Gypsy Rose using the Redcat 64 Impala as their starting point. This RC model, known for its attention to detail, became the perfect canvas for these enthusiasts. With precision, they crafted their 1:10th scale versions, capturing not just the look but the essence of Gypsy Rose.
These RC replicas stand in homage to Gypsy Rose's iconic legacy, introducing a new generation to its cultural significance.
