In Memory of Chad McQueen: Celebrating a Legacy of Passion, Family, and Giving
It is with heavy hearts that we at Steeda honor the life and legacy of Chad McQueen, who passed away Wednesday, September 11, 2024. Chad was not only an iconic figure in the automotive world but also a dear friend and valued partner in multiple Steeda vehicle programs.
Chad's passion for cars and racing was in his blood, a legacy passed down from his father, Steve McQueen. His dedication and enthusiasm were integral to the creation of some of Steeda’s most celebrated vehicles, including:
The Steve McQueen Edition Bullitt Mustang: A tribute to the iconic 1968 movie car, blending heritage with cutting-edge performance.
McQueen Racing F-150: A powerhouse that brought McQueen Racing's signature style and power to the world of trucks.
Upcoming McQueen Racing Mustang Variations: These limited editions will be revealed later this year, showcasing Chad's final contributions to the world of high-performance cars.
Beyond his work in the automotive world, Chad was deeply committed to continuing his father's charitable work with the Boys Republic in Chino Hills, California, the boarding school that Steve McQueen credited with helping to change the course of his life. Chad remained involved with Boys Republic, maintaining the McQueen family's dedication to giving back.
The McQueen family has always been a close-knit group, and it’s through their bond that Chad’s legacy will continue to inspire future generations. The entire Steeda family extends our deepest condolences to his family and fans across the globe.
