METRO DETROIT In April 1970, Carol Alex, of Warren, Ohio, purchased a shiny burgundy 1969 Chevrolet Camaro 307.
It was brand-new off the lot with a price tag of $2,400, before taxes and fees. While some moms in the neighborhood drove station wagons and sedans, Alex happily zipped about in her Camaro.
One regular route was traveling back and forth to her teaching job at Jefferson Elementary School. The Camaro also was the family taxi and the go-to automobile when Alex’s sister and brother took their driving tests at age 16.
The famed Isky hot rod built by a young California hot rodding pioneer Ed Iskenderian on display at a museum in Lincoln, Nebraska | Museum photos
An iconic segment of the California hot rod culture is on display in a museum, but it’s a museum halfway across the country. The
Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed is located in Lincoln, Nebraska, but is showcasing the famed little black Model T hot rod built by a youngster named Ed Iskenderian, who soon would become famous for creating high-performance camshafts. “Isky” anticipates celebrating his 100th birthday on July 10.
If the Nebraska location for the famous hot rod seems strange, consider that the car is displayed with Ed Winfield’s cam grinder that Isky used as well as with the only other pair of Maxi cylinder heads known to exist. The car is owned by Isky and is in Nebraska on a long-term loan.
