The Hot Rod That Put Boyd Coddington on the Map, Vern Luce Coupe - The Birth of Smooth Revisited

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.

Fun to see those guys that I got to know and work with back then. Many of them are dead now.

Great video! Has to be one of my favorite Boyd built Cars! There's so many! Plus all the great OBS trucks and the style he created. Keep the great Videos Coming! Auto Revolution is Kicking Ass With these series!

I thought the Hrudka Bros. 33 Willys built by Buttera was billet to the max, Boyd just second string.
