Folks Of Interest Coker museum

Well, I can’t seem to move the pics down to insert the copy. So here it is at the end.


The bestest wife in the world flew me to Chattanooga to hitch a ride on Diamond Lil-the sole flying B24 in the world. Well, she broke at her home base and didn’t make it☹️☹️☹️☹️. So we toured the B-29 and watched the other aircraft fly instead.

In the meantime we discovered the Coker museum and Honest Charlie’s place. They have a really nice collection of a variety of cars/tools/planes/ephemera-pretty much anything car or bike related. Here are some pics, 90% are on topic for the forum, albeit a little on the older side. But there a lot of fast cars there!

 

At least the cars can't roll away if they forget to put the parking brake on.

Thanks for the pics!

 

@1930artdeco great pics,thanks for sharing!

 

Great stuff.

 

The worn Woody wagon looks like a preserved gem.

 

Thanks for the post, love those old outboards!

 

Well, at least you were able to salvage something out of the trip. I can't imagine what a huge letdown you experienced, not being able to fly in the bomber, but it sounds like your wife is a keeper!

 

Yes she is! When we were dating she told me I could buy all the tools I wanted! Sealed the deal right there! And she got them to get her tickets to its home base in Dallas, so another fast weekend jaunt!
