World-renowned tuner and hot rod king Boyd Coddington died at 6:20 am this morning. The cause of death is still unknown. Coddington, founder of Boyds Wheels and designer of prize-winning custom cars, had recently been hospitalized twice for an undisclosed medical condition. Although he was though to be in recovery, rumors of his untimely death began circulating today throughout the forums. A spokesperson for Boyd Coddington's corporation has confirmed to Jalopnik that those rumors are true. The company will be releasing a statement later today.
R.I.P Mr. Coddington

I sometimes watch American Hot Rod too. Churned out some very nice cars those guys did.

That's shocking. Haven't always liked him as a person, but he's built some wild looking cars.

Wow, that's..unbelievable. He gave us some amazing customs, great wheels too.
It's a shame, he had a lot going for him, I wish the best for his family.
I guess sometimes it happens, can't all be Ghost Rider.

Aww, that sucks. Another artist in automotive engineering gone to us. I occasionally watched American Hot Rod, and Boyd was not a very likable person on that show (some of the world's greatest artists were not the most likable people), but his art was stunning! No denying talent when I see it!
Hot rods all over the world will miss Mr Coddington!
