Lynn Nace of Intro Wheels was named Goodguys 2008 Woman of the Year
during the Goodguys 11th PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. Nace accepted
the award, a specially designed character painting by renowned hot rod
artist Bob McCoy, at a special industry reception Thursday evening,
July 10th in Columbus.
First introduced to cars by her father over fifty years ago, Nace is a
leading automotive aftermarket executive and an avid Corvette collector
in her hometown of Upland, CA.
Nace has served in numerous roles during her tenure in the hot rodding
scene, including back when she was just child retreading tires for her
father. For years, her and her husband Dave ran the road sales team for
Boyd Coddington Wheels before she went to work full time at Boyd
Coddington’s Hot Rod Garage. To keep themselves connected and plugged
into the enthusiast side of the industry she and her husband Dave
remained active restoring, building and selling classic muscle cars and
hot rods. In the fall of 2001, the Nace’s teamed up with Intro Wheels
founders Victor and Jose Moreno to expand their new line of hot rod and
custom car wheels. Today, with Nace handling the bulk of the company’s
burgeoning wheel sales, Intro has truly become an industry Giant. “Lynn
is the mother hen of Intro Wheels,” joked her husband. “She does
everything around the sales office. If you’ve ever called Intro Wheels,
you’ve spoken to Lynn.”
