Power Tour Leaves Its Mark(s) in Chattanooga

Wow, what a day! Thursday, June 6th, was quite a busy day here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Hot Rod Power Tour came through town, with an official stop at Chattanooga State Community College. Thousands of hot rods, muscle cars and trucks came out to the campus, along with a number of parts vendors, including our neighbors, Coker Tire Company. After the day’s festivities came to an end, Coker Tire threw a HUGE after party cruise in, and we were glad to be a part of it! The guys at Honest Charley Garage debuted the Street Rodder Road Tour car, but we’ll cover that in a different post. Things got a little wild at the end of the night, but it was an extremely fun, extremely long day of hot rodding in the Scenic City, and home of Honest Charley Speed Shop. Check it out!

We bet you’d walk right past this crusty old Maverick without giving it a second thought! This thing has a crazy big block Ford with a monster turbo! It runs mid 6’s in the eighth mile.

Hard to beat the looks of this ’39 Ford coupe!

Good ol’ Double Exposure at the Coker Tire booth at Chattanooga State Community College.

’59 El Caminos are sooooooo cool! This one is slammed, and features a dual quad 409 engine under the hood!

Which one is not like the other?

Slammed!

Sure is a funny place to mount your hairdryer!

Coker rim fabricator, and longtime Honest Charley customer, J.D. Scott parked his chopped ’34 Ford coupe in front of the shop.

This must’ve been the exit of the Coker Tire after party cruise in….

Hoodlums and their hot rods!
