Boyd Coddington nous a quitté !!!

Boyd Coddington restera dans les mémoires de tous les amateurs de voitures américaines d'exception pour avoir élevé l’art du hot rodding à des hauteurs insoupçonnées, produisant des voitures dont les meilleurs carrossiers européens ne renieraient ni le style épuré mais respectueux de sa base, ni la qualité de fabrication plus que parfaite qui justifie pleinement les tarifs de supercars que Boyd Coddington pratiquait pour ses réalistaions.

A ce que j`en ai su, sa veuve a tout liquidé, il n`en reste plus rien, que des autos dans des musés

The end of Boyd's Garage...

The Coddington Garage Closes their Doors

One Coddington company closes as another plans to move June 16th, 2008--- La Habra, Ca Boyd Coddington Hot Rods will be closing their doors, Friday June 20th, 2008. After the untimely death of their founder, Boyd Coddington in February, the Coddington Garage team and family tried to continue on with business as usual. The battle they faced was too much to handle. After Boyd’s passing, his wife Jo took over the business. She had rather large shoes to fill in the absence of her husband. With the team of machinists, fabricators, and paint and body guys behind her, she gave it a shot. Unfortunately, running both the hot rod shop and the wheel shop was too much for her handle on her own. The cars and builds that are not complete at the time of closing will be moved to two new shops. Both shops are being run by former Boyd Coddington employees. Dan Sobieski, a fabricator and long time Coddington employee, will be opening his own shop July 1st. Sobieski will be taking a few from the Boyd Coddington team to his new shop in Anaheim, Ca. Abraham Rodriguez, a newer employee, will also be working on some of the vehicles at his shop. His specialty is in paint and body, but his shop will be able to do anything the Coddington Garage did. Jo will continue on with the wheel shop. There are plans for the company to move from their location in La Habra in the near future. For further information please contact Jo Coddington at (email address removed by blog owner).
