Here we have an extremely scarce item from days of old. It’s a Souvenir Program for the 13th Annual Autorama Car Show held in Detroit MI in 1965. About 5 or 6 years prior Stanley Mouse had become fascinated by the Weirdo Hot Rod art movement that had begun in California. Having developed skills using an airbrush he began traveling with his father across the country touring custom car shows and painting T-shirts. Soon after he met and worked with Ed "Big Daddy" Roth creator of the "Rat Fink" character and the leader of Weirdo Hot Rod art. This historic program contains articles with images about Stanley Mouse & Ed Roth! The signatures of both artists appear on pages 38 and 49 (see photos). Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
