Product Description
Von Dutch is one of the most interesting characters in hot rod and popular culture history. Considered the founder of "modern" pinstriping, he was a prominent character in many of the rodding magazines of the late '50s, and his fame endured long after he apparently tired of it. Besides being a striper, he was a gifted artist, machinist, and gun- and knife-smith. Using stories and quotes culled from interviews, vintage photos, and images of the art and other works he left behind, this book chronicles Kenneth Howard's life from pinstriping beatnik to bus-dwelling hermit. Where it can, this book sets the record straight on Von Dutch the man, but in many cases conflicting stories will serve to illustrate the contrary, colorful, and sometimes difficult nature of Von Dutch the legend. This book is a must-have for fans of hot rodding and hot rod culture!

 COOL BOOK - a gift for a friend January 4, 2008
J. LaCoss (Los Angeles, CA USA)
Generally well done, but not the most polished prose style. A bit of insight into the California car culture of the 60s and 70s, and info on one of the oddest folks in the custom-rod business. For me, a bit 'o nostalgia - I had a friend with a von Dutch paint job - neato.

N. P. Kenney (Houston TX USA)
This book is a solid introduction to von Dutch, whether or not one is familiar with the legend. The work spotlights a specific time in the life of the artist, and manages to also uncover some history of the enigma that is von Dutch. This book is a fascinating recount of an historic summer and is a valuable addition to any motorsports library.

Harley Van De Wege (Silverthorne, CO)
I very good and well researched account of the days of early custom car hot rods. Von Dutch was truly an artist of the highest quality. Very little custom, hand painted designs are being done today. Informative and entertaining. Numerous illustrations of von Dutch's work on both custom and race vehicles.

The pictures of the book are awesome. Von Dutch is truly talented and this book tells you the history behind the artwork. If you are a car lover and an artist it is the perfect book for you. Reading the history and motivation behind such designs is great.
