Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was a larger than life spokesman for Revell in the 1960s. He made wild show rods that later became some of Revell's most famous models. In addition to these show rods, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth also created some famous characters, such as the Rat Fink™ and Drag Nut. It all started for Ed in a small garage in southern California where he did pinstriping on all kinds of cars.
