The Outlaw Custom Hot Rod by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth

The Outlaw was one of the first custom hot rods not based on a production car. While a 1949 Cadillac engine was used for power, its one-of-a-kind body was specially molded in fiberglass. The Outlaw was Roth's first custom automobile and was built in part to help promote his expanding T-Shirt business. Its original design helped thrust Roth to the forefront of the "mod rod" movement. Other well-known Roth show cars include the Beatnik Bandit, Rat Fink, and Road Agent.
