Hot rod builder Boyd Coddington passed away earlier this week; my story on him for the Toronto Star is here.
Coddington was always difficult for me. He wasn't my favorite artist-in-metal; he did a lot more cars that didn't turn my crank than those that did. But when he caught my attention, he did it full throttle. Chezoom and CadZZilla will rank at the top of the list for as long as people care about cars. And because of his television exposure, a lot more people care about cars. There's a legacy right there.
