The Tales Behind Edward Van Halen’s Classic Car Sales

by Jeff Goebel — updated April 3, 2024 Leave a Comment

Car expert and life-long Van Halen fan Joe Petralia shared his experience selling two of Edward Van Halen’s classic cars in a new video.

In the video posted to VINwiki’s YouTube channel, Petralia (“The Lords of the Car Hoards”) gives fans an up-close look at Edward’s Van Hauler truck, 1947 Dodge Cab Over truck, and the story behind the “She’s Mad” license plate on Edward’s 1956 Chevy Nomad. Petralia also had a surprise meeting with Edward at his LA home where Edward handed him his recently removed hip bone…frozen in a zip-lock bag!
