The only one of his designs that I have that was immortalized in diecast. This is TFM's 1948 Cadillac "Eldorod". Of course this is actually a Chip Foose design when he worked for Boyd. The model shows its age but still displays well.

Never got around to adding this to my collection. Never cared much for the 1/1 but the model is quite good considering it's age. Your pictures make me question the wisdom of my decision.

Lovely model.  Man oh man; it seems like he passed away about 5 years ago....time sure flies.

Rich, great shots as usual.  I never really cared for this custom, even though I do have it.  Think I bought it 2nd had at a good price.

@bob-jackman I do care, Bob. It's not me that does this to you. I have an evil twin who... well, you know the story.
