Fun "Fact"...

[lalessi1]

I get a Hemmings email letter and today they spotlighted Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, very cool article but I was interested in knowing a little more... Wikipedia article said he had a '55 post Chevy with a 406 Ford engine he drove daily... Who knew! Rat Fink!!!

That's definitely a fun fact!

Someone gave me a 1969 HOT ROD magazine (10 times the size of last months issue) with a focus on Boss 9.  One of the tiny little ads in the back were for Big Daddy t-shirts...$2.29!

About 1966 while in the military a friend & I met "Big Daddy" Ed Roth where he was air brushing(?) & selling shirts at a little outside table at a drag race near L A. Wanted him to do one of my '47 Tudor that was back home.  He says OK but first he wanted to go watch somebody that was about run a funny car. I think it was Gas Ronda. Cool! We wanted to see him run too. Had to love the guy.
I think I still have that sweatshirt packed away in an old cedar chest that's half buried under a bunch of stuff.
