Road Agent

Following the construction of the Mysterion, Roth decided to build another wild bubble-top custom, and built the Road Agent. As usual, a scratchbuilt metal tube frame sat under a fiberglas body. A Chevy Corvair engine, turned upside down, sat in the back. The car was widely campaigned by Championship Auto Shows, and then went through a series of owners for more than two decades. The car was recently restored by Roth enthusiast Mike Moriarty, and showed up for sale on eBay in late 2002.

Revell produced a model kit of this Road Agent, under the direction of Jim Keeler and Bob Paeth. The kit was re-issued for a number of times. Original issues of this kit are highly valued, the reissues less so.
