As a young man, Jeremy Garza remembers watching his older brothers customize their mini trucks and Camaros back in the ’80s. With the inspiration he acquired then, he spent countless weekends on the infamous cruise strip, Central Avenue, in Phoenix with a Nissan Sentra, one cool candy-painted lowrider. Jeremy eventually graduated up to the big boys, picking up a fullsize sedan, a ’93 Cadillac Fleetwood. As the customizing began, he knew he wanted to always keep it a vehicle that would be driveable on weekends, but still turn heads at the local car shows. As the Caddy progressed, Jeremy took on other project cars, but the Cadillac, known as “Sangria,” was the one he vowed to keep forever.

In the meantime, Jeremy came across an ’84 Oldsmobile Cutlass. He remembers putting down $4,000 on this non-running car that didn’t even have windows! But with the help of his friends, family, fellow car club members, and $10,000 in cash, the Cutlass became an eye-popping candy-painted G-body within just a year’s time.
Jeremy sends big thanks to everyone who provided help and support in the buildup of these two custom low-lows, especially Pros Touch, Arizona’s Finest, James Roundy, Buggs, Jaime Castaneda, OG Victor Gonzalez, Pelon, and his Majestics car club brothers. Jeremy also sends a special thanks to his beautiful wife, Elizabeth, and their daughters, Estefany, Angelina, and Mia.
