Sometimes best intentions go unrewarded. Take the case of Richard
Rodriguez, Jr., an employee at the Santa Clara School District in
San Jose, California. Aware that he always turned heads in his 1953
Club Coupe, Richard thought it might be a good idea to take the
Coupe to some of the schools to show the kids. He envisioned it as
being a motivational tool for them, hoping to use his classic car
to show them that with hard work and perseverance, anything is
possible. Richard's positivity and optimism was instead greeted
with cruelty; the beloved coupe that he used for road trips to
Santa Cruz and San Francisco was vandalized in the parking lot of
the school by some of the students. Fraught with frustration and
dismayed by the violence, Richard did receive a blessing in the
fact that his insurance ended up paying for all the damages done to
the classic car. With this blessing in disguise, Richard began to
channel his experience into a more productive light, as he began
tearing the car apart and preparing for the ultimate rebuild! "I
just went crazy on it, from top to bottom, and from inside and out;
I did everything," explains the bomb enthusiast with vigor. No
stranger to the Bomb scene, Richard actually has quite a few builds
under his belt, including a '46 Plymouth, '40 Buick, '51 Coupe, the
'53 Club Coupe being featured here, and a few others. "This is my
fifth or sixth car with full undercarriage," a proud Richard
boasts. Beyond the Bomb scene, Richard's love for the culture of
Lowriding stems all the way back to his childhood days, where he
watched and helped his father in several builds, finding the
passion in himself in the process. Among those builds were Bombs
and Impala's and one particular '62 holds a special place in
Richard's heart. An eight year-old Richard cut his teeth on the '62
Impala alongside his father and the work they did on that car was
nothing short of epic. "We showed the '62 convertible at the San
Jose Fairgrounds and got first place," says Richard in an excited
tone. "It was the last show that was done at the fairgrounds."
While the Impala served as his initial proving ground, his love for
Bombs is unmatched, and all of his builds have been within those
model years. Currently he's got a frame off project going in his
garage as well. "That one is bone stock original," says Richard,
intending to keep it that way. During the build of "El Muerto,"
Richard found out that his '53 Chevy wasn't just another Coupe; it
was a '53 Club Coupe. Chrome Package, Dome Lamp, Tinted Glass,
