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.

Seventy years of Holden motorsport will be celebrated this weekend at the Tailem Bend round of OTR SuperSprint Supercars with a special convoy of Holdens and a surprise appearance of the mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette. As part of special activities to commemorate the end of Holden’s involvement from mainstream Supercars competition, Saturday morning will see a massive Holden convoy drive from the National Motor Museum in Birdwood to the track. “The Final Roar is a way to recognise the role Holden has played over seven-decades of competitive motor racing and acknowledge everyone who has had some involvement with the brand, whether they’re a passionate fan, driver or team owner,” said Marc Ebolo, managing director of GM Australia and New Zealand.
