Santa Barbara native Chip Foose painted his first car—a Porsche 356—at age 12. His passion for design led to a career in automotive design, working on custom builds and film cars for Blade Runner, RoboCop, and Gone in 60 Seconds.
Through his company, Foose Design, Chip provides full-scale design and build services—from sketches and models to complete custom vehicles. In 1997, he became the youngest inductee into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame. Today, with nearly 40 years in the industry, Chip is internationally recognized and has won dozens of design awards.
