(Photos by Wes Allison) – Ed Iskenderian recently turned 102 years old! If that was all I wrote, and we just showed pictures of him actually breathing, you’d be impressed. But the fact that this icon in motorsports is still going strong, and had a killer birthday full of race cars, is pretty badass. Our own Wes Allison was on hand to shoot photos and we can’t thank him enough. When Isky turned 100, the world lost its mind, and I’m not sure folks really thought they have to put on more than one or two more birthday parties for him, but at this point, they better start planning 103!
I mean when a guy like Isky turns 102 you have to do a better job than you did on the 101 party don’t you?
I have some great personal Isky stories and have had some great conversations, gotten him out of hot water, and laughed my ass off with him. The dude is legit and he’s still alive and kicking and we love him for it.
Ed Iskenderian has lived an amazingly impactful life and we thank him for it and appreciate all the folks that came out to celebrate with him. We’ve got a bunch of photos from the show and party, so check out the gallery below.

Was my first trip to Lions Automobilia Museum celebrating Isky’s 102nd, the Lions Museum is awesome too!
Happy Birthday to Isky, he’s my favorite old guy.
Had a blast! Isky’s birthday is the only reason I’d tow Chevado 450 miles for a one day show in such hot weather! Hanging out with old friends, and making new ones is pretty cool thanks for the party!
Great man and what an innovator.
