Ed Big Daddy Roth - His Life, Times, Cars and Art Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth
His Life, Times, Cars and Art
by Pat Ganahl
Foreword by artist Robert Williams
Who was Ed Roth? The answer depends on who you ask,
and when they knew him. To some, he was a counter
culture, greasy-fingernailed, renaissance man of the mid
20th Century. To others, he's the creator of Rat Fink and
builder of some of the most creative custom cars ever to
get a coat of candy paint -- cars like the Beatnik Bandit,
the Mysterion, and the Outlaw. Some knew him as a
devout Mormon, and others recall a Harley-riding hellion
with a devilish glint in his eye.
He was a force of nature and a creative genius whose work had a profound influence on popular
culture and helped spawn numerous subcultures. Ed's rise to fame began in the '50s, and peaked
with the custom car boom of the early '60s -- 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 '90s brought him back to the
fore, and he was more popular than ever. To say his life was interesting is an understatement and 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.

A Journey with the Burbank Choppers Car Club
If you haven’t noticed, traditional hot rodding is back in a big
way. Among the scene’s biggest players are the members of
an exclusive club known as the Burbank Choppers. The
Choppers gained prominence recently with an appearance on
the TLC show RIDES, but this recent fame belies the fact that
they’ve been living and promoting their brand of traditional
hot rod and custom car philosophy for more than 15 years.
For this book, the author photographed and traveled with the
Burbank Choppers from Southern California to Japan to give
readers an inside look at the Choppers' unique lives and
cars.
