Pleasanton, CA – Father and son automotive design legends Sam and Chip Foose will be honored as “Hot Rod Heroes” this summer in Columbus, Ohio at the Goodguys 10^th PPG Nationals held July 13, 14 & 15 at the Ohio Expo Center. The father & son hot rod dream team will be on hand at the Goodguys Nationals both Friday and Saturday July 13^th & 14^th and will participate in a special “Meet & Greet” Saturday morning, July 14th at 10am inside the Expo Center’s Celeste Center indoor stadium. Fans will get a rare chance to hear the Foose family story as well as ask them questions. Autograph signing sessions are scheduled as well.

“It should be a really great weekend in Columbus,” Chip said. “Dad and I don’t get a lot of opportunities to do events together so this will be special.”

The Foose design legacy goes back to Santa Barbara, California in the 1960s. At the age of seven, Chip started working for his father building and designing specialty cars and hot rods. By the time Chip was 12, he and his father were combining their talents and designing and painting cars. Today, Sam and Chip still team up for special projects under the wildly popular Foose design umbrella.
