Rotar '65
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.
