RIP Boyd Coddington
28/02/2008 by dave.
I’m sad to say that hot rod building legend Boyd Coddington has died at he ages of 63.
Body was shot to international fame through the cable show “American Hot Rod” and helped to introduce the world to the West Coast Hot Rod scene, building cars from the ground up with a price tag of anywhere in the region of $500,000. Body was recognised as one of the best hot rod builders in the world, with critically acclaimed creations including the “Cadzilla” car, which was a modified 1950’s Cadillac built for ZZ tops Billy Gibbons, and twice winning the Daimler-Chrysler Design Excellence Award for his designs.
Boyd Coddington died at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in suburban Whittier at 6:20 a.m. The cause of death has yet to be released.
I say Rest In Peace to one of best custom car designers in the world.
