Sorry to hear of the passing of Boyd Coddington. He was a true automotive artist who will be greatly missed by all.

rambler · 02-29-2008, 03:16 AM

He was truly talented, I also didn't like the "drama" on the show, but loved the work they did. wonder how much was staged? Its sad someone gone at ,in my opinion, a early age..

19673ontree · 02-29-2008, 03:33 AM

you know the way he acted on that TV show in my opinion was just an act , everyone you hear that met him or talked to him says he was a OK car guy , I loved and still do love to watch the show , he was a car guy to the bone !
LIZ your avatar get's better everyday !

Dang the Old Mil cans didn't look half bad with Boyd on them, now back to the grandpa label.

We might still be rolling 15" centerline auto drags, cragar s/s's, and chrome wagon wheels if it weren't for Boyd's dominance (and influence) of the custom wheel market in the late 80's and early 90's. (in Jerry Seinfeld's voice: Not that there's anything wrong with that )

RIP

jchav62 · 02-29-2008, 03:33 AM

I was shocked when I found out... I read about it over on the HAMB... My condolences to his family and friends. His work was awesome!!

R.I.P. - Boyd Coddington...

sickchevy68cst · 02-29-2008, 03:42 AM

seriously bad day in the hot rod world may he rest in peace with greats as for keepin old skool alive

**Ironhorse** · 02-29-2008, 03:49 AM

Sad to hear of his passing. I must say I didn't care for all his creations but you have to admit a lot of effort and a true love of automobiles was evident in his work. May he rest in peace and cruise heavin's back roads in the roadster of his choice.

tommy knotts · 02-29-2008, 06:49 AM

i dont care what they say.I will always believe, that christine car that he was going to get running,killed him.

ClassicAutoResto · 02-29-2008, 03:43 AM

For those who haven't heard, Boyd Coddington died at 6:20 this morning. No cause of death yet, but he has been in the hospital for awhile.

Did not hear that till now.

**Palf70Step** · 02-29-2008, 03:48 AM

It is sad to see anyone go that left a mark on the industry. Didn't care for American Hot Rod, but Boyd left his mark in the car world.

Eichorst69 · 02-29-2008, 04:14 AM

I agree with those who disliked his personality and actions when on TV and I probably would not have lasted long if I had worked for him because of that, but I didn't know him personally and he did do some GREAT work, so RIP Boyd !!!

68gmcdually · 02-29-2008, 05:27 AM

That's wild, he was supposed to be at a show up here in Toronto next month.

**Boog** · 02-29-2008, 05:43 AM

72driver · 02-29-2008, 05:45 AM
