I got the chance to meet Boyd at a car show in Indianapolis a couple years ago. He was a cool guy. It's too bad he's gone...

 

Gone but not forgotten

 

While I wasn't a fan of everything he did, I do like most of his work.
The auto industry has lost a great visionary in custom design.

this a truley Sad day in automotive history.

I have met him and his wife Jo. and actually seen his shop in Ca.
It was one of the best experinces i had had for a long time. he was a very personabel person.
easy to talk with. demanded the best form his crew and gave them teh same in return.

Im truly sorry to hear of this and comes a complete and total shock to me to hear of this.

 

Truely a sad day for the automotive world. Rest in peace Mr. Coddington. You will surely be missed.

 

Son of a *****!!!! He was one of the reasons I got into cars while watching American Hot Rod.

Words can't even describe how shocked and sad I am now. We lost a true master of Hot Rodding.
