As I searched the Internet today for car news I was saddened and shocked to read that Boyd Coddington has died. He was 63. Who's Boyd you ask? I didn't know him personally but I knew of his legacy by watching his show on TV. Boyd was a custom car builder and designer. He even had worked at Disneyland, one of my favorite places. His custom cars are the "creme de la creme" of custom cars, just beautiful creations dreamed up and built by Boyd and his staff. These kinda guys are not your everyday guys. They dream it and they build it from scratch. Boy toys, dream machines, and power houses for us to drive, ogle, and enjoy. He's gone but his legacy continues thanks to his wife who will carry the dream on. I don't know her either but I bet she's amazing. These custom car builders are amazing. Starting with the frame and ending with the flames, they fabricate, bend, mold, bolt, paint, and upholster cars like no other. There aren't many of these guys who can do it right and make it pretty. They are a breed of special brains that give us pure automobile beauty. When one of these artists pass on, we can only hope that the legacy is passed on to others.
