History
The earliest car clubs were started following the 1940s, though the reputedly oldest lowrider club is the DUKES c.c., founded in 1965. The Dukes first got together in 1965. The club went on for some four years, breaking up in 1969. The club started up again but between 1970 and 1977, the ghost of the club carried on. Socially the Dukes hire out to weddings and quincieneras as chauffeurs. They also have club picnics and enter the better car shows. The Dukes are from 38th street gang in the southwest area of LA CA.
