Foose Wheels - Chip Foose Brings Wheels to a New Level

Ever since he was a youngster, Chip Foose had two main interests: art and automobiles. Luckily for the automotive world, Foose was able two merge these two passions into a company that has built some of the most impressive automobiles to ever hit the streets.

In 1963, Foose was born in Santa Barbra, California. By the age of seven, he was spending his afternoons working with his dad at his speed shop. However, Foose was interested in more than just making cars go fast. After high school, he studied at different art schools around California to increase his ability as an artist, but his obsession with hot rods never went away.

After graduating from art school, Foose began working for Boyd Coddington, a well-known hot rod designer. At Coddington’s Hot Rods company, Foose was able to get creative with his designs. For five years, Foose built award-winning creations at Hot Rods and mastered his craft as an automotive customizer.

Eventually, Foose left Hot Rods to start his own company. With his wife as his partner and years of experience under his belt, Foose Design was born.

Foose Becomes a Household Name

For car nuts and speed freaks, the name Chip Foose is as important as Michael Jordan is for jocks. However, the name “ Foose” wasn’t always a household name. After Foose started his own company and car shows began forking over first-place trophies to every car he entered, television networks started to take notice.
