32 CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE II OCTOBER 2019
Bat Wing Bomb
Yeah, a long time, say 60 years
down the pike, way before Joe and
Stephanie Boyd were noisily at their
baby bottles, all of that has changed.
We liked the Biscayne especially for its
lack of trim, chrome, and its aspiration
to be anything more, that and the
fact that you could order the cheapest
body with the biggest engine available.
The Boyds see theirs as a clean sheet
to gently decorate with upscale trim
from Bel Air and Impala. Stephanie was
the instigator. She was stubborn, no,
possessed. She’d seen a ’59 Impala at a
show and fell in love with the fins and
taillights. The search was on.
Why did they build this car? Why,
because Stephanie wanted one. She’s
been into hot rods since she was 15.
