Rotor
This car sold for over $200,000!
Owned by Bert Boeckmann. Owner/President at Galpin Motors Van Nuys, California
Built by Ed Roth
Rotar stands for "Roth Air Car".
Ed used two Bell Auto Parts built 650cc Triumph twins laid on their side.
A high pressure prop was mounted to each engine that created a cushion of air that allowed Rotar to propel itself on land and water.
Directional flaps on the bottom were plywood and the rear fin was fashioned after Ed's '59 Cadillac.
