In 1994 Custom Designer-Extraordinaire, STEVE STANFORD, created a concept drawing of a 1950 Ford Business Coupe that appeared in the April, 1995 Issue of "Rod & Custom" Magazine.

 That concept stuck in the mind of Legendary Guitarist/Rod & Custom Gearhead Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top...and became such a vivid dream that he had So-Cal Speed Shop turn it into a reality !  

By the time the car was built, it had been shifted and changed into a 3-Window Coupe and given a name: "Kopperhed" !!
