Crafted by the legendary Von Dutch

Step into a rare and preserved relic of automotive and pop culture history! Originating in 1972, this exceptional piece was initially crafted for the renowned Movie World: Cars of the Stars and Planes of Fame Museum in Buena Park, CA. The museum, inaugurated in 1970, served as a captivating attraction, housing an extensive collection of over 1000 cars and movie props. What makes this narrative even more intriguing is its association with two legends in the custom car domain—Ed “Big Daddy” Roth and Von Dutch.

Ed Roth, famed for constructing some of the most iconic custom cars in history, left an indelible mark with his trademark character, “Rat Fink,” which continues to enjoy widespread popularity today. Meanwhile, Von Dutch, not only contributed his artistic talents to Movie World but also made the museum his home until his passing in 1992, despite the park closing its doors in 1979. Revered as one of the world's most skilled pin-stripers, Von Dutch's trademark design, "The All Seeing Eye," remains a widely utilized and celebrated motif.

This bespoke vehicle, a creation of Von Dutch, stands as a testament to their artistic prowess. Preserving its originality since the day of its creation, the vehicle boasts the authentic paint, including hand-painted graphics by Von Dutch and Ed Roth. More than just a car, it stands as a masterpiece—a fusion of automotive ingenuity and artistic expression.
