The Hot Rod That Put Boyd Coddington on the Map, Vern Luce Coupe – The Birth of Smooth Revisited
The AutoRevolution boys have been sharing some cool stories from Boyd Coddington’s family and hot rodding history and this new video is all about the Vern Luce Coupe, a car that Boyd put together in a style that had not been seen before, and that would change the world of hot rodding forever. It was the start of an era, and would be a giant stepping stone to where Hot Rods by Boyd would eventually go.
Special Thanks to Aldan American and Chris Coddington.
The Vern Luce ’33 Coupe set Boyd Coddington on the map in the early 80’s and birthed the smooth era of hot rods. This ‘Revisited’ version has never before seen footage and historical pictures. It includes interviews with Diane and Chris Coddington, “Far Out” Gary Humenik, Duane Mayer, the late Bob Bauder, Gary Brown, Gene Winfield, and more.
