Beau Boeckmann, vice president of Galpin Ford in North Hills, CA, is a lifelong fan of stuntman Evel Knievel.
To honor his hero, Boeckmann conceived the Galpinized Evel Knievel F150 “Gladiator” Ford pickup.
Knievel attended the dealership debut of the truck named for him. The dealership also hosted a luncheon in his honor.
“I've always been impressed by his courage and determination to come back over and over again,” says Boeckmann of Knievel.
