I know this is OT but some of you guys like wagons and stuff like I do so I had to share this bus I saw today. I was told it belongs to Mr. Coker of the tire co. and it's being shipped his way. It says Yellowstone Park Co. on the side door and the whole top is a canvas top. Didn't get too many details other tha n that. Check out the upper tailights. Dave

I dig that school bus out here on the east coast that has some sort of blown big block. Sure beats the regular bus to school
Oh yeah? A local guy bought the Partridge Family bus and drives it evereywhere! Beat that, Corky Coker! BTW.....cool bus, man.
wonder if they didnt have a simular bus in the john carpenter movie with kurt russel... big trouble in little china
Hi Dave! Thanks for the post. Tell you a little story about the bus. Bought it from a collector in Seattle. This year the Great Race was from Washington DC to Tacoma. I figured we would drive up from Tacoma at the end of the race n drive it down the 50 miles and then load it on my transporter to bring it back to Chattanooga. Long dang way to TN from Seattle Washington! Well it cranked right up, brakes were good, shifted great so all is perfect. Started the ride down to Tacoma. Everyone was lovin this thing as I was driving it. Problem was it took close to two hours to drive the 50 miles. Then when we measured the width, there wasn't any way it would go in my truck. So my buddy Gab Joiner from New Mexico loaded it on his flat bed and we hauled two of his cars. I think it is cooler than dang it. Will be a blast haulin my buddies to dinner all together! All the best to you! Corky Coker
wow the legend is true, Corky does Actually read the hamb! I'm impressed...lol...now maybe i can get a better dealer buy-in than this 30 units deal ....lol
Corky, you are living the dream, I'd like to hear about all of your collection of neat stuff one of these days. Now about that HAMB tire discount....
You dang skippy I am a Hambr. I get a kick out of some of the stuff. Don't have a lot of time but try to check in often. Haven't really thought about a Hamb discount, but will. I do have the best job in the world. Get to go to all the events, deal with car people who are the best people in the world. Get to know some cool folks, and when I develop a new product, I HAVE to get a bike, truck or car to run the product on to BE SURE it works right! Gotta love it! Am thinking about having a Cruise IN here in Chattanooga sponsored by Honest Charley and Coker Tire. Would give you an opportunity to see a bunch of my junk... All the best, Corky
Hey Corky - How was the race? Apparently it passed through here but as luck would have it I was gone. Nice bus! Isn't the HAMB a great place? All the best - Rob
