Goodguys 2023 Hot Rod of the Year title went to Coby Gewertz and his wild ’34 Ford Coupe.

 The Saint Christopher Coupe as Gewertz calls it, started life as a body shell he acquired from Mike Wolfe of the television show American Pickers. 

The build was performed over several years by South City Rod & Custom in Hayward, California, and features a long list of traditional hot rod custom touches such as the chopped top, rows of louvers across the roof and deck lid, vintage magnesium wheels and of course, a souped up 331 cubic-inch vintage Hemi engine.  The wild paint work is by Compani Color

12 years ago Coby Gewertz stunned everyone with Van Go, and though this isn't as radically designed, but damn, it sure turns heads with the paint design. I wonder what inspired it

Online gallery of Church Magazine (by Coby Gewertz) photography of 2011 Bonneville found on Traditional Speed & Kustom.com

just 2 screen shots to show you what I'm talking about, many more at http://speedandkustom.com/events/church-at-speedweek/ 

"Van Go" the most talked about van in years, and Coby, the publisher and photographer of one of the few awesome independant magazines

 It's a 2 year project, and this year was it's debut. Not just the coolest van we'll see for years to come, it's also a travelling office so Coby can display and sell hie magazines and t-shirts at car shows

None of the woodwork inside has any right angles. It's very smooth and pleasant to contemplate it's looks and use

 I've got 3 or 4 of these, and they are worth the money, just terrific photography. The one on the lower right is made up of photos taken at Fremont dragstrip between 1960-1964 by his dad, and stuffed away in a showbox in his dad's garage for 40+ years. That is family treasure.

Coby was given the front AND back of the newest issue of Rod and Kulture. effing awesome! Run out and buy a copy quick, you'll love it, and the photos throughout the magazine are far better than anything I've taken, quite a few are professional photos taken in studios. Perfect work. Enjoy!
