A Classic Ed “Big Daddy” Roth Creation

Ed “Big Daddy” Roth became one of the defining artists of America’s hot-rod and custom-car culture.

His unforgettable monsters, exaggerated hot rods, airbrushed artwork, and characters such as Rat Fink helped define the Southern California Kustom Kulture scene of the late 1950s and 1960s.

Mr. Gasser captures that same wild spirit in three dimensions.

The model features a crazy monster driver towering over a customized 1957 Chevrolet, creating the kind of exaggerated automotive caricature that made Ed Roth model kits famous with generations of builders.

A Piece of American Kustom Kulture History

Ed “Big Daddy” Roth was much more than a model-kit designer. He was an artist, cartoonist, pinstriper, illustrator, custom-car builder, and one of the major personalities behind America’s Kustom Kulture movement.

His imaginative show rods and monster characters became some of the most recognizable images of the hot-rod era.

The Atlantis Models Mr. Gasser kit gives today’s builders and collectors an opportunity to bring that classic Ed Roth style back to the workbench.

Dem Brudders review of Mr Gasser

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was an American artist, cartoonist, illustrator, custom car designer, pinstriper, and builder. He created the hot rod icon Rat Fink and other Fink characters. Roth was a key figure in Southern California's Kustom Kulture and hot rod movement of the late 1950s and 1960s. By the August 1959 issue of Car Craft his airbrushed Weirdo shirts had become a full-blown craze. His many show rods later became some of Revell's most popular model kits.
