This saddens me. He made some cool rods in his days!

That too bad. I loved to watch his show when time allowed. RIP

Very sad. I always enjoyed his show (American Hot Rod) and some of the cars that were produced...

 

[P1et]

Very sad, he was a brilliant designer and builder...

 

[Old Pirate]

Very sad indeed......RIP

oh that is sad news I like the show "American Hot Rod". He was often in a bad mood, but usually with a good reason

Yes, this is sad news.



This article mentioned that he died after a lengthy hospital stay but neither of the articles I read state what he actually died from.

loved his show and the outstanding rods he produced, def. a man with vision, when it came to hot rods, life goes on but not quite the same without boyd, he will be missed.

Yeah I heard about that the other day. Pretty bad. I have friends that used to roll on sets of B. Coddingtons back in the day....waaaaaay before he had a tv show. Its still weird, like it didn't really happen. Good guy, I feel bad for the fam and friends. RIP
