What reality TV series featured hot rod builder Boyd Coddington? The series was American Hot Rod.

American Hot Rod followed Boyd Coddington and his crew as they designed and built custom cars at his shop in La Habra, California. The reality series originally aired from 2004 to 2007, first on TLC and later through Discovery Channel programming. Its episodes combined the technical work of fabrication, paint, machining, and assembly with the pressures of demanding deadlines.

Coddington was already an influential hot-rod designer before television made him widely known. His shop became famous for refined custom cars, distinctive wheels, and award-winning roadsters. The program showed builds such as a 1956 Chevrolet, a 1963 Corvette Stingray, a 1961 Impala Bubbletop, and a 1942 Woodie.

The show is sometimes confused with Overhaulin’, because Chip Foose had previously worked with Coddington and later hosted that series. Fast N’ Loud centered on Gas Monkey Garage, while Pimp My Ride focused on dramatic entertainment makeovers. Neither featured Coddington’s shop as its central subject.
