Кіріспе
Бойд Коддингтон (28 тамыз, 1944 – 27 ақпан, 2008) – американдық хот-род автокөлік дизайнері, Boyd Coddington Hot Rod Shop дүкенінің иесі және TLC телеарнасындағы American Hot Rod бағдарламасының жұлдызы. Өмір баяны, білімі және мансаптың бастауы.
Boyd Coddington' (August 28, 1944 – February 27, 2008) was an American hot rod designer, the owner of the Boyd Coddington Hot Rod Shop, and star of American Hot Rod on TLC. Early life, education and early career
Coddington grew up in Rupert, Idaho, reading all the car and hot rod magazines he could, and got his first car (a 1931 Chevrolet truck) at age 13. He attended machinist trade school and completed a three year apprenticeship in machining. In 1968, he moved to California building hot rods by day and working as a machinist at Disneyland during the night. He soon became known for building unique hot rods and in 1977 he opened his own shop, Hot Rods by Boyd, in Stanton, California. His first major customer was Vern Luce whose car, a 1933 coupe, won the Al Slonaker Award at the 1981 Oakland Roadster show. Design innovations
Coddington was known for clean, elegant designs combining old school with what would come to be known as the "Boyd Look". Some of Coddington's signature innovations were his custom fabricated alloy wheels, typically machined from a solid aluminium billet, an industry first. Together with John Buttera, Boyd pioneered this "billet" machined look and applied it not only to wheels, but broadly throughout the car. It is acclaimed as one of the great expressions of automotive customization. Columnist Gray Baskerville called CadZZilla "the most incredible transformation he'd ever witnessed",
Artistic legacy
Many of the next generation of customizers started their career with Coddington. Larry Erickson, later the chief designer of the Mustang and Thunderbird for Ford Motor Co., worked with Coddington early on, and specifically credits the CadZZilla collaboration for jump starting his career. Designer Chip Foose (Overhaulin') and fabricator Jesse James (Motorcycle Mania) both started their careers in his shop. Coddington hosted the Discovery Channel show American Hot Rod''. Coddington's creations have won the Grand National Roadster Show's "America's Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR)" award seven times (the only back to back winner of America's Most Beautiful Roadster) and the Daimler Chrysler Design Excellence award twice, and earned him entry into the Grand National Roadster Show Hall of Fame, the SEMA Hall of Fame, the Route 66 Hall of Fame, and the National Rod & Custom Museum Hall of Fame. In 1997, Coddington was inducted into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame.
Коддингтон Айдахо штатының Руперт қаласында өсті. Ол барлық автомобиль және хот-род журналдарын оқыды және 13 жасында өзінің алғашқы көлігін (1931 жылғы Chevrolet жүк көлігі) алды. Ол машина жасаушы мамандығы бойынша оқуын бітіріп, үш жылдық тәжірибеден өтті. 1968 жылы Калифорнияға көшіп келді, күндіз хот-родтар жасап, түнде Диснейлендте механик болып жұмыс істеді. Көп ұзамай ол бірегей хот-родтар жасаумен танылды және 1977 жылы Калифорния штатының Стэнтон қаласында «Бойдтың хот-родтары» деген жеке дүкенін ашты. Оның алғашқы ірі тапсырыс берушісі Верн Люс болды, оның машинасы – 1933 жылғы купе, 1981 жылғы Окленд Родстер шоуында Ал Слонекер сыйлығын жеңіп алды. Дизайндық жаңалықтар.

Коддингтон ескі мектеп пен «Бойд стилі» деп аталған жаңа бағытты біріктіретін таза, әдемі дизайндарымен танымал болды. Коддингтонның ерекше жаңалықтарының бірі – оның тапсырыс бойынша жасалған қорытпа дөңгелектері, әдетте қатты алюминийдан өңделген, бұл саладағы алғашқы қадам болды. Джон Бутерамен бірге Бойд осы «билеттік» өңдеу стилін дамытып, оны дөңгелектерге ғана емес, бүкіл машинаға қолданды. Бұл автокөлікті жекелендірудің керемет үлгісі ретінде танылды. Журналист Грей Баскервилл CadZZilla-ны «өз көзімен көрген ең таңғажайып трансформация» деп атады.

Келесі буынның көптеген дизайнерлерінің мансабы Коддингтонмен басталды. Лари Эриксон, кейін Ford Motor Co. үшін Mustang және Thunderbird машиналарының бас дизайнері болды, ол Коддингтонмен ерте жұмыс істеді және мансабын бастау үшін CadZZilla жобасының үлкен көмегі болғанын айтты. Дизайнер Чип Фус (Overhaulin') және шебер Джесси Джеймс (Motorcycle Mania) екеуі де оның дүкенінде жұмыс істеуден бастады. Коддингтон Discovery Channel арнасындағы American Hot Rod бағдарламасын жүргізді. Коддингтонның туындылары Grand National Roadster Show-дың «Американың ең әдемі родстері (AMBR)» сыйлығын жеті рет (Американың ең әдемі родстері сыйлығын екі жыл қатарынан жеңген жалғыз жеңімпаз) және Daimler Chrysler Design Excellence сыйлығын екі рет жеңіп алды. Ол Grand National Roadster Show Даңқ залына, SEMA Даңқ залына, Route 66 Даңқ залына және National Rod & Custom Museum Даңқ залына енді. 1997 жылы Коддингтон Hot Rod Даңқ залына қабылданды.

Кейінгі қаржылық қиындықтар
1998 жылы банкротқа ұшыраған клиенттен 465 000 долларлық шығын салдарынан туған қаржылық қиындықтар Коддингтонды Бойдтың дөңгелектерін қайта ұйымдастыруға және үлкен ұлымен (Бойд Коддингтон кіші) серіктестік құруға итермеледі. Өмірінің соңғы жылдарында ол толығымен арнайы жасалған машиналарды ескі автомобильдер ретінде тіркеуді бастады, бұл қатаң шығарындылар нормаларынан және салық жүктемелерінен құтылуға мүмкіндік берді. Калифорниялық шенеуніктер бұл әрекетті "Тезеустің кемесі" парасомы деп есептеді, себебі автомобильдің көптеген маңызды бөліктері ауыстырылып, ол бұрынғысынша сол машина болып табылмайтын еді. Коддингтонға қылмыстық құқық бұзушылық тағылып, ол 2005 жылдың 7 сәуірінде өзінің кінәсін мойындады.
Өлім
Коддингтон 2007 жылдың 31 желтоқсанында ауруханаға түсті. Ол Жаңа жылдан кейін бірден шығарылды, бірақ бірнеше күннен соң Калифорния штатының Уиттиер қаласындағы Пресвитериандық интеркоммуналдық ауруханаға қайта жатқызылды. Дәрігерлер операция жасады; толық жазылып кетуге үміт болғанымен, Коддингтон 2008 жылдың 27 ақпанында қайтыс болды. Оның өкілі Коддингтонның ұзақ жылдар бойы диабетпен ауырғанын, соңғы операциясынан – тесілген ішек салдарынан туған асқынулар, сепсис және бүйрек проблемаларынан көз жұмғанын хабарлады. Коддингтон Калифорния штатының Уиттиер қаласындағы Роуз Хиллз естелік саябағына жерленді.
