    I did not miss it. I called him to congratulate him on another milestone and he sounded great.

    It takes leather balls to play rugby, and it takes a hell of a lot of moxie and gumption, to make it to 99 in this day and age!
    Hats off to one of the original " HOT RODDER'S " that has truly left a positive mark on the automotive industry !
    Happy 99th birthday to you Mr. Iskenderian !

    I think he's so cool. All the history, and he's a nice guy. In the McGee Roadster YouTube video, I like how Ed says with a big smile...
    "We just liked the freedom of the open-air and playing like we had a race car."

    Happy birthday, Ed!
    Thanks for everything!

    Got an old Tee shirt that I take to CHRR every year with quiet a few legends autographs on it. Was very pleased to add Ed's several years back. He could not have been more pleasant and polite. Happy Birthday to you sir!
