I was looking thru Andy Southard's "Hot Rods of the 50's" book for ideas. On page 96 there is a pic Ed Roth's Red '30 Model A sedan he called 'lil Jewel' at the 158 Long Beach Autorama.

Does anyone know if it made it into any of the Car mags in its Red version. (I have pics of it in green but really need to see more of it in Red). Can anyone help.. I have asked before for pics of this car but thought I would ask again since I now have a reference for when it was built.

Thanks for any leads... It will really help me in the building of my version of this sedan.

Thanks to both of you for the links. It appears the original zRed version is tough to find and never made it into the mags.

Boones, here is an article from, the April 1959 issue of Car Craft on Roth's sedamn when it was red with black scallops.
Not much info in it however so not sure how much help it would be for you.
