Riassunto

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!

Recensione:

The recently published Von Dutch: The Art, The Myth, The Legend comes closer than anything written to uncovering the truth about hot rodding's prominent pinstriper and most controversial character. --Rod and Custom Magazine,

You don't have to be a car junkie to get caught up in ... the animated artwork shown throughout this book. --Edmonds.com

As well researched as the book is, it's doubtful anyone can unravel the mystery. However, this book doesn't expect to, and that helps make it the best book that has ever been written on Von Dutch, and probably always will be. --Old Cars Weekly
