    97.9 The Box and Reliant Park present the 28th Annual 97.9 THE BOX Los Magnificos Lowrider Car Show & Concert, Sunday, Decmeber 5, 11am-7pm.

    Scheduled to perform: Chris Brown, Soulja Boy, Just Brittany, Kirk Kobang, and Marcus Manchild!

    In 1982, the Los Magnificos Car Club of Houston, Texas, held their first car show under the club leadership of Joel Carmona and his wife, Helen.  The Los Magnificos car show quickly garnered enough interest to become an annual event in Houston. Over time, the car shows proved incredibly successful, eventually attracting interest from Houston’s KBXX “97.9 The Box” radio station. In an innovative move, a strategic relationship was formed in which Los Magnificos coordinated the car show in conjunction with a concert sponsored by the radio station.

    This event became known as the Los Magnificos Custom Car Show and Concert.

    Sadly, Joel Carmona, the longtime driving force behind Los Magnificos Car Club, passed away in a house fire in February of 1996. The club thrived for a while under the direction of Helen Carmona, his wife, and Mark Martinez, who was like a son to Joel. Later, Mark left to create Houston Society and the club members dwindled, but the car show events were continued in his memory by his wife, Helen, who eventually turned the day-to-day operations over to her daughter, Teresa, and son-in-law, Jon Chuck. Under the guidance of Helen, Jon, and Teresa, the Los Magnificos tradition lives on.

    Today, Los Magnificos continues to manage the Los Magnificos Custom Car Show and Concert produced with 97.9 The Box. Currently in its 28th year, the car show, which started in a parking lot at Northline Mall, is now a mega-event that is considered one of the premier car shows outside of California.

    In 2009, the show attracted over 600 cars (along with 100 lowrider bikes and model cars), with many of the nation’s best lowriders on display. With the success of the Houston show and the strong reputation in the lowrider community, the show made its debut in San Antonio, TX in July of 2009. This show was representative of the high standards associated with Los Magnificos, as the facility was quickly filled to capacity while exhibitors and spectators enjoyed a top quality car show and concert event..

    OUR MISSION
    Los Magnificos strives to produce world-class custom car show events across the United States that are enjoyed by both the custom car exhibitor and the event spectator while at the same time allowing Los Magnificos to remain loyal to their beliefs and values.
