Ok a buddy of mine has had this for years. won`t part with it and has the 20 inch wide slicks that go on the back. The painter Stepens (sp) and he says Ed Roth built it. I have never seen a trike body like this before

Looks to be a Roth production trike "American Beetle".

If he's not going to part with, then tell him he need to restore it! Or at least put it back together and clean it up. I'm not sure how many bodies were made, but I'm sure it's worth a pretty penny.
