I recently bought a VW trike that is purportedly a Roth original. I understand that there was, frequently, a business card laid up in the 'glass underneath, however, I don't find one. It's a dead ringer for the one depicted on page 106 in Ed's Hot Rod book. If anyone could help me authenticate it, I'd really appreciate it.
Your off topic thread will probably get locked. This one did but has some info on it: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/questions-about-ed-big-daddy-roth-trike.1119185/
that sure looks like a Roth American beetle trike to me. It looks though like the back has been cut off from it to expose the engine. they always had somewhat of a tail light panel on em and for whatever reason your is cut off. probably because it was mounted lower on the frame and the engine tins were in the way? hard to say. Looks like a real roth trike though
You may want to see if it is a Trike by Stires who made them in Garden Grove Calif in the 70's. Is the headlight area the same as Roth made ?
