Just saw on The Jalopy Journal that Ed Roth's Orbitron showcar has been found. And while I'm overjoyed to know that one of the icons of my youth and a real Work Of Art actually still exists (unlike a growing list of other cool stuff), it's evidently been through hell.
According to the Journal's blog: "Turns out the car spent some time at a Mexican carnival and finally ended up being used as a trash receptacle in front of an adult book store."
Ed and his work deserve so much better than that. The owner says he's gonna restore it. Let's hope.
