- RedEnzo 2 days ago Wow an amazing life for sure- the only thing I have to say is that the stories of these guys are lost unless preserved. We have almost a duty to try to keep their efforts memorialized by recording the "old timers" so that all of us, and future generations will understand that we "stand on the shoulders of giants"- If you have a contact with older members of our community (car or otherwise) now is the time to whip out the phone and video a casual interview. Did that with my late father and have to say that even after 50 years of "hanging with Dad", a lot of it in the garage or on road trips to car events, I still learned more than a few things- knew he was a gearhead but did not know about a lot of the "other stuff" that fills our lives. RIP Ed- you were a great contributor to the advancement of our hobby and your service to our country is not forgotten.

- IIslander800 2 days ago With the recent passing of Gene Winfield and now Ed Iskenderian, it truly is the closing of an era, the birth of So. Cal. hot rodding. R.I.P., "Isky".
For a comprehensive history of the origins of hot rodding in Southern California, search out a copy of "The American Hot Rod" by Dean Bachelor, including many great photos and profiles of all the greats like Ed Iskenderian. Bachelor, who was there at hot rodding's birth, completed his book, a passion project of his, shortly before his untimely passing in 1994.
- DDaydreamer1959 2 days ago I met Ed a few times at various shows. What a gentleman and Hot Rod legend. Always asked what you were working on a gave advice on motor build. Sad that he has passed but he will be Hot rodding next level I’m sure. God bless CamFather and thank you for all you have done for us Hot rodders.
