About: Ed «Big Daddy» Roth · Von Dutch

Description

Von Dutch was more than a patch on a trucker cap. Kenneth Howard was a beatnik, a pinstriper, a cult figure among hot rodders, surfers and artists of the fifties and sixties — and a gifted machinist, gunsmith and knife-maker besides. Pat Ganahl wrote it down, with quotations from interviews and pictures of the work he left behind.

Why the biography matters

Because more stories circulate about Von Dutch than documented facts. Ganahl, a historian of hot rodding, follows the contradictions instead of adding to them — and still shows why the legend grew: Howard ended up in a converted bus that served as both home and machine shop.
