Cartoon Hot Rods [Ed Big Daddy Roth] 4K Custom Hot Rod 2020 Kustom Kars Rat Fink Man 4K classic cars

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Ed Roth was the King of Glass and Class. A true Multi-Talented Artistic Genius of Imagination and Design turned into Reality. To this day there is no equal. A Twentieth Century Michelangelo.

[@samspace81]

Thanks Ray for your comment, wish I could have known him

[@sethjensen1723]

I am one of the Rat Fink artists who created an art piece shown in this video. We got the chance to drive across the country for 28 hours to come to this exhibit. I wouldn't have done that for just anything. The amount of respect and work that went into this exhibit for Ed was so far and above anything I could've imagined. I talked with some of the lead people in charge of this exhibit and the stories behind why they decided to do this exhibit literally brought tears to my eyes. Being there personally with Ed's wife and seeing the joy it brought to her and all those around it could not be matched by anything really out there period. I just want to express my thanks to everyone who made this possible. It is because of people like these that a new generation gets the chance to grow up with Kustom Kulture and a desire to work on cars and maybe would not have had the desire to do so beforehand.

[@samspace81]

It was fabulous & brought tears to my eyes as well. Every kid in America (and adult too) needs to walk through that exhibit. Thats what I was trying to accomplish with the video work. You are a very talented artist. Love the quotes, the plaques, the art, everything about it. Thank you @Seth Jensen for the thoughtful comment. I'm 39 and missed a great era. I'm really enjoying the comments from folks that built the Revel models, etc growing up - SAM

I Am a Fan of Ed Roth I must have had two shoe boxes full of Rat Fink Rings .and I have no idea how many posters . At 64 now 65 this month .. they would be worth a mint .. Its a shame that this new breed will never know what livin life truly is or was .. the 50 threw the 70s was the Katz pajamas .. 👍

[@sonnyvictor3521]

When I was a kid I turned a Beatnik Bandit model into a slot car and raced it at the big track downtown . I'm 69 now and Ed Roth is still KING

[@samspace81]

Truth 🙏

[@robertpetsel54]

Can’t even guess how many models I had as a kid of these creations ! Would love to go the museum.

[@samspace81]

So fun they didn't have this long

[@smokinjoeprestwood5889]

WOW!!! Awesome video Sam. As a man 70 years of age, I remember all of these creations when they were new.

[@samspace81]

Happy you enjoyed this one Joe. I sure did enjoy seeing them and videoing them. I was at the Corvette Museum because I had never been there and it was on my route back from Ocean City, Maryland, big show I was filming at up there. Blew me away they had this whole awesome exhibit. I never had any of these cool models but I'm 39 years old. Missed the real cool stuff, making up for it now :) - SAM

[@robertstocks235]

At 70 I saw all these when they were new. Much better times

[@modeladenny1218]

@@robertstocks235 At 82 I saw the models and many of the real cars.

[@wayneworley1293]

Boy this brings back a lot of memories in 1972 when I was 12. I met. Ed Big Daddy Roth at the Autorama at Cobo Hall in Detroit he was a really cool Kat he was drawing pictures by one of his custom cars I got a picture of the Rat Fink holding a sign that says I'm a U S Taxpayer I support 10 welfare recipients and myself, signed by Ed Big Daddy Roth and I still have it. And at the same time I met Wolfman Jack another really cool Kat

[@samspace81]

Wonderful memories Wayne, I appreciate you watching & sharing - SAM

[@modeladenny1218]

Thanks for another great video. I'm not in to stars and autographs, but I was lucky enough to meet two of my favorite Big Daddy's. Ed Roth and Don Garlits, both while in Florida.

[@samspace81]

Oh wow! I appreciate the kind words too.

[@fernandosouzasoares734]

[@wayneburgess6591]

Wow that was awesome. Remember many of these from my youth. But not this close and such beautiful detail. Quite the artist and whacko for the times !!!

[@johnmichaelkarma]

I had the Mysterion model. It came with a rubber band wind-up rotating pedestal base. It rotated slowly on small bearings slowed with a viscous liquid.😎

[@samspace81]

Wow very cool

[@Simon-d8n]

Cool to see the Outlaw car . Been one of my favourite ones since I was a boy 👦 .. I can’t wait to be home in Wisconsin and I plan on spending most of my free time seeing all this great American 🇺🇸 stuff oh and getting on race track in some old school. Cars

[@samspace81]

Awesome! I've never been to Wisconsin, maybe brief drive through. Appreciate you watching!

I haven been either It was bit of land there Carroll Shelby left me years back and It’s got a small house on it and he left it to me in his will ., So I plan on moving there live a quite life on the lake side ,,, I fuckin over the dramas here in New Zealand .. I so need a change

[@samspace81]

Sounds peaceful :)

[@kidtexaus1]

Beautifully shot, but it would have been nice to see a closeup of the cyclopian headlight on the Mysterion, one of it's most iconic features.

[@samspace81]

Hopefully I'll get to spend more time with some Roth cars! Noted, thanks for the constructive criticism and your viewership sir

[@devinmichaels6822]

I'd own two lol nice art cars . they need driven once or twice to be enjoyed.

[@johndavey72]

Well ! What an education ! I'm old enough to remember the cars and artwork but had no idea of how inspirational Ed was. He must have been a pioneer for his paintwork as well as his custom bodywork. I'm trying to decide whether he invented candy/pearl or was the first to employ that paint. I do know that you had to apply 15 + coats of cellulose Laquer over the base coat in the early days. (That promptly started turning yellow and cracked from day one!) . Modern 2 pack eliminates that now . Well if l win the lottery l'm definitely going to make this my first port of call . Thankyou so much

[@samspace81]

Wonderful! Yes! I was curious as to what and when some of these were painted and what was used. I got started in my Dads Vette shop doing paint & body. Some fiberglass fanastics here :)

[@modeladenny1218]

@@samspace81 I did get to shake Ed's hand once. We lived near the Fl Gulf Coast and Daytona is 140 miles from home. I pulled into a little gas station in our '55 Chevy wagon and there was Ed Roth filling up, I think, a van. I don't remember the year but it had to be Ed's last trip to Turkey Rod run.

Is the exhibition still there...OR did it leave? Where did it go? I've been a big fan of Roth and his creations since I was a kid (born in 64)....as a side thing, I deal in art. I presently have an original Roth air brushed painting hanging in my living room...and when I bought it over 20 years ago I paid a pretty penny for it. One of the best investments I ever made. When people see it....they are speechless. Would love to own an original Von Dutch piece of art.....Long live Roth, Dutch, Jeffries, and Barris......Fuc-ing awesome vid..it's like being there - THANK you uploading this. You made my Saturday..but if I HAD known about this, I would have driven DOWN to see it. I've been to the Nat. Corvette museum before (before the Sinkhole incident - thank God) and it is EXCELLENT. Also, if you're in the area - it's an absolute MUST to tour the Corvette plant! Best car manufacturing tour I EVER took in my life (and I've done Rouge and Toyota)

[@samspace81]

Great questions, I arrived by chance just to see Corvettes. This was a juicy bonus for me. Appreciate you watching, would love to see the plant too next time. Thank you again for watching & taking the time to leave this thoughtful comment - SAM

[@dancalmpeaceful3903]

@@samspace81 I found out that the exhibition is there until April...hence, I am planning on going....make it a long weekend. Yes - you absolutely MUST take the tour....and as I said above, it blows away the Rouge tour (in Michigan) and the Toyota tour (In Kentucky).

I sure don't appreciate you calling Roth's cars, "CARTOON CARS". The yellow Mysterion is on the cover of the first car magazine I bought when I was 10 years old. I have never heard the term cartoon cars till now. I thought the whole group were cool cars, and the "rat fink" era wasn't too bad either!!

[@samspace81]

It was part of the exhibit name, they used "Kar-toon" to be exact. Thats cool you remember Mysterion back then. They should have rebooted the Big Daddy model cars for me in the early 80s :) Thanks for watching Samspace81, Henry :)
