Ed Seltzer

Eric recalls that his dad always owned unusual cars. In 1949 he bought this 1939 Citroen Traction Avant. This photo shows Eric's mom with the Citroen around 1950 in Tarzana. Photo courtesy of Eric Seltzer.

Ed Seltzer's 1929 Ford Roadster. The car was originally built by Kenny Smith of San Gabriel, California. Ed bought the hot rod around 1954. After owning the roadster for a year or so, he wrecked it badly one night, and he had to completely rebuild it. Seltzer was into foreign cars and sports cars, and he added some European sports car flavor to the traditional hot rod.
