Ed “Big Daddy” Roth was a larger than life spokesman for the Revell model
company in the 1960s. He designed and built wild show rods that later
became some of Revell’s most famous model car kits. Roth was a key figure
in Southern California’s Kustom Kulture and hot rod movement of the late
1950s and 1960s. In addition to the show rods, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth also
created some famous characters such as the Rat Fink. It all started for Ed
in a small garage in Southern California where he did pinstriping and
detailing on all kinds of cars. In addition to pinstriping cars, Big Daddy
was famous for airbrushing wild t-shirts. It was on these t-shirts that we
got to first see Ed’s wild characters like the Rat Fink. Then, just like
they had done with Ed’s wild cars, Revell made plastic model kits of Ed’s
famous characters such as the lovable Rat Fink, Mr. Gasser, Surfink and
Scuz-fink. Atlantis Models keeps the tradition going by re-issuing “Big
Daddy”s wonderful creations in all their original glory.
