A Tribute to a Truespoke Artist: Mr. Art
Cordiero
Master Engraver and Truespoke Enthusiast
One example of the
artistry of Mr. Art Cordiero is this engraved Truespoke 14 X
7" reversed wheel created for a female Truespoke customer.
Shown at left is Mr.
Chris Gibson and his mother Judy Cordiero, Mr. Art
Cordiero's widow.
Truespoke Heritage
- For those who appreciate engraved Truespokes.
Mrs. Judy Cordiero
and her son, Chris Gibson visited the Truespoke
headquarters to present us with these two amazing
wire wheels. The intricate engraving and artistry
was the hand-work of the late, Art Cordiero, a
second-generation master engraver. These two
fascinating wheels were created sometime in the 80's
for two separate clients of Mr. Cordiero.
It is thought that
the matching sets are in the middle-east and on the
east coast in private hands. The Cordiero family
treasured these two gold plated rims, however, it
was decided by the family to return them to
Truespoke for others to view and enjoy. We
appreciate the spectacular artistry and fine
attention to detail, particularly the spinner with
Debbie engraved in the center. The clever cut-out
design is perfect in every way. We would love to
have seen the finished work on the customer's cars.
Thank you
Judy and Chris for your thoughtful return of the
wheels to Truespoke. We will treasure these wheels
and will honor the memory of Mr. Cordiero, a
Truespoke enthusiast of the highest magnitude!
