Bitten by the automotive bug at an early age while growing up in the back seat of his

dad’s 55 Chevy Nomad. Kenny Davis decided to step away from the norm and opened

Hot Rods by Davis. The calling card for this new shop was the debut of a sanitary 1955

Chevrolet Nomad at the 1999 Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour. From the moment the car

rolled through the grounds, magazine editors had all eyes focused on the deep red

55 Chevy from Arkansas. The car later on went onto appear on many hot rod enthusiast

magazine covers which gave life to the new hot shop.

Carroll Lindsay and his 1934 Ford Coupe have the distinction of the being the first

complete turnkey hot rod to roll out of Hot Rods by Davis. The momentum has carried

on as 12 complete turnkey hot rod projects have spread the look of Hot Rods by Davis

across car shows nationwide.
