This sharp vintage Revell models display sign depicting Ed "Big Daddy" Roth is up for auction on eBay. Roth of course was an underground artist and hot rodder who helped shape the Kustom Kulture scene in 1960s California. Revell made model kits of Roth's hot rods and cartoon icons like Rat Fink. With a week left in the auction, the current bid is $255. From the auction listing:
This is an ad caricature of Ed Roth for Revell Models. There is a little paint missing on the frame border also a small scratch on the lower left hand corner.There are some small discolorations on his nose, a small scratch underside of the nose and on the hat. This is a great piece of Ed Roth memorabilia to add to your collection. There is a small plaque that is missing on the bottom of the frame, not sure what it said. The sticker says" Revell Authentic Kits". It is a little dirty and could use a cleaning for display.
