Ed "Big Daddy" Roth - His Life, Times, Cars, and Art. This is the ONLY complete history of Big Daddy Roth's life! Forward by artist Robert Williams. Who was Ed Roth? The answer depends on who you ask, and when they knew him. Ed's rise to fame began in the 50's, and peaked with the custom car boom of the early 60's - every kid in America knew who Rat Fink was, and many built models of his custom cars and wore his "monster" T-shirts. As custom cars went out of style, Ed turned to other pursuits, but a growing interest in hot rod history in the 90's brought him back to the fore, and he was more popular than ever. This book covers it all, from art to custom cars monster shirts to VW-powered trikes, and the wild life that brought it all together. 10x10", 192 pages, 100 color photos, 150 B/W photos. Hardcover.
