Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Ed Roths last show car. Purchased by Eds son Darryl, it was restored to its original appearance. Show car restoration with thick paint on the elaborate picture frame moldings which adorn its edges and openings.

Market commentary

Iconic is probably less apt than outrageous in this case but the look is so distinctive it is immediately recognizable. The story of acquiring the childs casket which houses the gas tank and battery (swapped for $200 cash with a funeral directors son late at night in an alley) alone is worth a not inconsequential part of the price. Pure Roth.
