Atlantis Mr Gasser Ed Big Daddy Roth Model Kit

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, an American artist, cartoonist, illustrator, custom car designer, pinstriper, and builder, is the creator of the iconic hot rod character Rat Fink and other Fink characters.

By the August 1959 issue of Car Craft, his airbrushed Weirdo shirts had become a full-blown craze, and his many show rods later became some of the hobby's most popular model kits of all time, alongside the Tom Daniel Kits.
