This is a historically significant vehicle in Chip’s illustrious career. Beginning with a 1948 Cadillac, Eldorod was originally completed at Hot Rods by Boyd’s. In fact, it was the very first car Chip designed at Boyd’s when he worked there full time as Chief Designer in the 90’s. It was also the last car to be produced by Boyd’s before it went bankrupt in ’98. The new owner of the vehicle, Chris Andrews, got in touch with Foose Design as he heard Chip had a different initial vision for the project. For example, Chip had planned to paint the vehicle blue, not the maroon color it ultimately received. Chip found his original concept sketch of the vehicle and set to work executing his original design.


Eldorod was repainted in the brilliant blue. The front and rear bumpers were also completely redesigned. Other upgrades include new Carson top, new grille and grille insert, new leather interior, new roofline with chrome trim and recut faux-white wall wheels.
