French Connection for sale on Ebay.
One of the Top Ten Boyd cars of all time. This car was finished while my dad was in the hospital. I remember Jo bringing in pictures to him the day it came back to the shop from Gabe’s. One of the last times I saw a smile on his face. Because of the timing this car has been completely under promoted and under appreciated. My dad always admired the workmanship and styling that went into some of these early century coaches. This Delahaye inspired roadster was the manifestation of what my dad loved and appreciated about elegant cars with the Boyd touch applied. I watched this masterpiece unfold over the course of a few years. From the unique Italian V-12 boat motor to the phenomenal interior. The car looks like it’s floating on air. I really hope this goes to a good home and that person understands and appreciates what part of automotive history they have.

Red Stripe Blacked Out JYDs
Our good customer Pete sent us these pics of his Camaro with some blacked out JYDs. These 18″ Junk Yard Dogs were treated with an all satin black paint with a red stripe added by Pete. Good job and great looking ride.

HR-56 on a Mercedes 500 SL
One of our customers sent us these pics of his Mercedes 500 SL with a set of 18″ HR-56’s out of our Pro-Touring Series. With all the hot rod and muscle car wheels we build it’s always cool to see our customers dress up their daily drivers with some billet wheels. Especially when it’s a nice import like this Mercedes. These HR-56’s were also treated with ceramic clearcoat to lock in that polished look and keep the maintenance down. Bet you didn’t even know these were coated. That’s why we use ceramic clearcoat over any other clearcoating process.

24″ Junk Yard Dogs
When my dad machined the first set of Junk Yard Dogs to go on the Chevy that named these wheels building anything bigger than an 18 or 20″ set of these for a car wouldn’t have been on his radar. These Coddington Collection 24×12 full billet JYD’s are going on a full custom.
The Original Hot Rods by Boyd shirts are available
Available in Black and White. $20/shirt includes shipping to the 48 states. Get yourself the original only here at Hot Rods by Boyd.
Garage Sale Time – 17×8 5×4.75 Widows
We have up for sale a set of pre-owned but never mounted Boyd Coddington Widows. These wheels were built in 2005 and are in the original boxes. A customer of ours decided to go a different direction with her car and we’re offering these at a smoking deal. 17×8 5×4.75 with 4.5″ of backspace which means it will pretty much fit anything rear wheel drive GM from 55 -74 and S-10 pickups. I just took this one wheel out of the box for the first time to take these pics. These wheels are really nice. For more info call 866-612-2693 or email.
Another One-Off set leaves the Custom Shop
Had to snap a quick pic of these knock-off wheels we built before we shipped them off. Back when my dad started building wheels all the wheels were knock-off style. These 20″ directional one-off’s turned out awesome. If you have a wheel design in mind and want us to help you make it a reality drop us an email.
