I could smell bubble gum when I looked at them!!

They used to sell them like base ball cards with gum in them back in the late sixties.

I remember seeing RatFink t shirts at a car show I went to with my brother in the late 60's, what an impression it left on me. Dudes, drooling with hairy arms sticking out the windows, heads through the roof and shifting long grotesque shifters. Besides my brother owned a 57 Desoto 354 hemi car at the time.

You guys need to check out the movie "Tales of the Rat Fink" I got it at the Portland, OR swapmeet. It is a animated documentary thats narrated by John Goodman.

My wife got me that video a while back after she saw an old picture of me in a Rat Fink tee shirt. Roth was also a custom car designer and builder in the late 50s and 60s. I used to love the Revel models that promoted his cars. The Beatnic Bandit was my favorite.
