    The Chattanooga Cruise In, held at the Coker Tire and Honest Charley compound, has grown a lot in the past few years, and it's expected to grow again in 2014. The Spring event is scheduled for Saturday, April 5th, and the times have been shifted around a little, compared to years prior. The event officially starts at Noon (Eastern time) and the door prizes will be given away at 6pm.

    There will be a bunch of barn finds on display, many of which were featured on the Backroad Gold TV Show. Coker Tire (including Corky's Museum), Honest Charley Speed Shop and Honest Charley Garage will be open for viewing. Also, as an FYI, you can pre-order tires or wheels and have them waiting for you at the event to save on shipping.

    All of the streets surrounding Coker and Honest Charley will be closed, and we have access to the Football Stadium parking lot across the street for overflow parking. It's a cool event that always has an awesome turnout of traditional hot rods. Here are a few pictures from previous events.

    Corky has decided to sell a BUNCH of projects and barn finds that he's accumulated over the past few years. These will be on display at the cruise in, in addition to the cars they bought on the Backroad Gold TV show.

    Not sure where your cruising from, but Rodstalgia Speed in Oliver Springs is also having a cruise in that starts at 4pm. Band goes on at 6pm and American Graffiti on the Big Screen starts when the sun goes down. Leave Chatty and hop on 27 and in about 1.5hrs you'll be at Rodstalgia Speed!

    Mr Card the first owner of Honest Charlies Speed Shop said ""Look out Mountain is in our shadow"". I wish Mr Coker would build a recreation of Mr Cards baby bird that would be one cool car..

    Was seriously considering making the drive but I don't think its going to work out schedule wise . . . which is a bummer because the pictures from year's past make it look like a great turnout everytime.

    It was a crazy turnout. The event was advertised to start at noon, but by 11am, the parking crew had to turn people to the overflow parking lot. My estimation is somewhere between 1,000 and 1,200 cars throughout the day. Some people showed up at 8 and left at 1, and some showed up at 1 and stayed until it was over. Big crowd.
