And some more Roth.


I've had this car on my mind for days. It's beautiful.

It's Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's daily driver during his prime mid-60s custom-building days. '55 Chevy with a fiberglass front end. Scoop on the hood. Tangerine orange. The back fenders were radiused.

And of course, it's got ROTH painted on the doors and trunk lid.

Ed's vehicles are well-documented and their whereabouts are locked down, especially since the Orbitron was located. (In fact, some say the mill from this '55 was chromed and plopped into the Orbitron.)

Wonder where this '55 is? Wonder how hard it'd be to clone it?
