Roy Brizio Street Rods: Modern Hot Rods Defined
Based in South San Francisco, Roy Brizio Street Rods has been creating some of the finest hot rods in the world, cars that aren’t just nice to look at, but also fun to drive—and drive forever. With a reputation for quality and individual service, it’s no wonder that celebrity street rodders like Baseball Hall-of-Famer Reggie Jackson and legendary guitarists Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton have become regular customers—not to mention good friends—of Roy and his stellar crew. In this first history of one of the finest builders working today, author and photographer Bo Bertilsson profiles many of the South San Francisco shop’s most significant cars to date, including a 2008 restoration of the original Barris creationAla Kar> and new hot rod masterpieces.Roy Brizio Street Rodsfocuses primarily on the ground-up Brizio-built ’32 and ’34 Fords for which the shop is best-known, and each profile is supported by striking color photography. And for those unable to stop by the shop in person, Bertilsson treats readers to a shop tour and a glimpse of Brizio’s annual Shop Party and Open House.
