Welcome to Driving Line's "Anatomy Of" series—where we get down to details about what makes a particular type of car what it is.While some may assume everyone knows a low-rider when they see one, you'd be surprised how many people aren't sure about the details. Does a donk qualify? Does it have to be a certain year, make or model? Get the basics down with us as we take a look at Phil's '63 Impala and a few others from the Los Angeles area.
