LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) The black hot rod with gleaming valve covers and pipes sits on a platform in the Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed, prominently displayed even with its battered interior and torn-up tires.
That’s because the “Isky Roadster,” one of the first hot rods and likely the only 1930s hot rod to survive in its original condition, is the gem of the Lincoln museum’s extensive, world-leading collection of hot rods, race cars and engines.
“If this museum was a three-ring binder full of vintage baseball cards, I would consider this to be the Babe Ruth rookie card in that collection,” said curator Tim Matthews. “Not only is it an early hot rod that wasn’t changed, so you can see exactly how they were built, it was built by a guy named Ed Iskenderian.”
