Event Coverage Isky was here!!!

But wait, there is more!!! Great add with the photos and story rooman. Love this stuff!!

 

Ed "The Camfather" Iskenderian hisself showing up at your shop is about as neat as it gets.

 

Well, my BIG day of driving truck around Indiana ****s by comparison.

 

Vey nice Guy and a what a name in the Hot Rod world!!!!

 

Cool Roo!! I bet you guys had a hell of a time! Lippy

 

Awesome. Isky rules!

 

Wow! I would like to be the silent guy just listening to all the conversations you had with Mr. Isky!!

 

About as cool as it gets.

 

wow, some guys have all the luck!

 

I love Isky!! What a thrill to have the man in your digs, Congrats! ~sololobo~

 

Wow! How cool is that? He's been there, done that for sure.

 

After dinner on Thursday night (about 3 hours at the restaurant) and cruising from shop to shop yesterday I wished that I had a tape recorder running as the stories were priceless. Isky was talking about Ed Winfield and Louis Meyer, Dave Zueschel, Keith Black etc and not second hand stories--real first person stuff. I am lucky enough to have met Meyer and Black but hearing some of the stories from Isky dating back to the start of hot rodding as we know it was awesome.

48 Chubby nailed it. Ed don't need no stinkin' papers...I saw him at the last Indy PRI show some years ago, out in the pouring rain walking the Gasoline Alley Tour. Talked to Jim Deist too, wow, those guys were and are SO huge to me. I love racing the way it was back then! Drag racing wouldn't be the sport it is without the "cam wars", and the lives guys like Deist and Simpson saved.

 

Bucket List item is to meet him for sure!!!!

 

He came to one of our club meetings a few years ago. He had sponsored some of our members back in the day. The stories he told were great. And one of the nicest men around. God bless him

 

What a lucky guy! I'd love to meet and talk with Ed Iskenderian!

 

ditto that

 

*****'n.

 

I sure hope you invited him back for Spam-O-Rama in Sept!

 

Very cool! We have sat next to him at the breakfast counter @ Bonneville a couple of times........he's a legend & could tell stories for days.

I met him at the NHRA museum one night when his car club was having a party. Got him to sign the ammo box off my Boeing Bomber Bike. I thought we'd talk about Hot Rods, but instead ended up talking about all the ailments that us ol' farts get...

 

Very cool that ya got to meet Ed. Makes sense though, Jim you are the Iskendarian of ignitions!

 

I have a special place set aside for his signature on my dash right next to Norms and right over his decal. Hope to connect with him this Fathersday.

 

A month ago I was wishing I could someday meet Ed Iskenderian, and then last night I did along with about 90 other guys! He came to the community college for a meet and greet, and we were lucky enough to spend 5 hrs. visiting with Isky and learning all those great tales of early hotrodding!
It's an evening I wont ever forget!
Found a place for his autograph too!

 

Back in the day, I wore one of his Isky T Shirts to school all the time.

 

I'm jealous for the meet and greet. He's walking history.

 

He knew so many people who are legends in hotrod history, and rmembers all the conversations and how they got where they were! He also knows so many interesting stories about how things developed within the automotive industry, and the hotrod specialty industry! I really need to write myself notes about what he told us before I forget it soon! His memory is better at 90 than mine is at 62!

 

I just seen him at the Portland swap meet on Sat.
