Here's a little tid-bit of information for those that don't know too much about Boyd. Has anyone come forward with a cause of death? It wasn't related to his fall, was it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyd_Coddington

Re: rip boyd coddington (merged )
Didn't he pretty much kick off this whole sport truck movement in the early 90s? I remember reading that he was the first guy to make roll pans commercially available to people. I think it was from a early 90s Chevy truck.
Anyway, sorry to see him go. |

Re: rip boyd coddington (merged )
Sad day for sure...
But what is even worse.. the shop is still open today. Not even a day of mourning.. or even the rest of the week.

Re: rip boyd coddington (merged )
An icon to our sport/hobby. A great loss! Terrible taste in women and shop managers though!!!!! I had to stop watching the show because of Joe and Duh-Wayne.

Re: R.I.P. boyd coddington (merged )
Back in the seventies, (when i was growing up) there were several icons. Men that i followed their careers, through several automotive publications.
Among these, Eddy Paul,Pete Chaporis, lil John Butera, and Boyd Coddington. they were the innovaters. They were the ones to watch. They frequently turned out the cars that everyone else tried to imitate. Pete chaporis now owns the famous SOCAL_SPEEDSHOP. Lil John Buterra, i believe was later on the staff of one of the major car mags, and of course Mr. Coddington went on to have his own shop/design studio/tv show/etc/etc. His influence on the automotive hobby will be felt forever. He will be missed greatly. I for one have been a fan since i saw an old coupe that he did and was featured in an old magazine. I can't even recall which name was on the cover, but i remember Boyd Coddington sitting in the drivers seat in the first photo in the article. I was impressed with the subtle changes he made to almost every car he touched. He was colorfull, and that, my friends, is the stuff that legends are made of.

Re: rip boyd coddington (merged )
Regardless of industry or sport etc. When a icon passes it leaves a void. Never met him or watched the show but his talent spoke for itself. Like NASCAR its not the same without Dale Sr. But like the hot rod industry it wiil go on. Best wishes for the family and company.

Re: rip boyd coddington (merged )
I met and talked to Boyd in 1996 on the Hot Rod Power Tour and that guy was allright in my book. He was a critical fellow, but so was a lot of famous people. It is a shame that he passed on. There was a lot of vision in his eyes.

Re: rip boyd coddington (merged )
The link is HERE.
I find it odd that NONE of the american news agencies are posting this information anywhere, online, print or TV. The only article comes from the, "China View".!? If the information is true, it is a real shame that NOTHING has been mentioned in the american media about a True American icon. Someone should call the shop and verify the information......seriously! Last edited by HoupPhotography; 03-01-2008 at 12:37 AM. |

Re: boyd coddington
everything i have read just tells that he has been in and out of the hospital a few times before he died but I haven't read anything telling why he died or why he went to the hospital.

According to the wiki Boyd fell at home over the holidays. No details on anything else, except that he went back to the hospital because he was still having problems. Another surgery was done, I think it was the day before he died. Somewhere it said it was due to complications from the surgery.
