The striking “Aluma Coupe”—built at Hot Rods by Boyd, founded by the late Boyd Coddington—was recently donated to the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
 
“Aluma Coupe’s” one-off, slippery shape and transverse-mounted Mitsubishi V-6 in the trunk debuted in Mitsubishi’s display at the 1992 New York International Auto Show. In the new car show world, the concept car/hot rod garnered much attention from automotive journalists and show-goers for its radical departure from the typical concepts of the day, according to a press release.
