Chattanooga Cruise In September 2012
Last September, we tried our hand at hosting our own Cruise In right here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We considered it a great success, and decided to do it again in 2012. Our April event nearly doubled in size with 500 cars in attendance. For the September 2012 Cruise In, we seriously upped the game, and…

In case you haven’t heard, we’ve teamed up with Coker Tire to host a huge Cruise In twice per year. Our April Cruise In was a major success, with 500 cars in attendance, so we’re doing it again on September 29th! We worked hard to choose a date that didn’t conflict with other local cruse…
Read MoreHot Rods are Meant to be Driven!
We love it when a dude hops in an old car and drives it across the country. That’s exactly what John Gilbert is doing with this crazy chopped Model A coupe. John works for a guy that buys and sells cars, and caught wind that he had purchased this Model A on eBay. The car…
Read MoreThe Nationals!
That’s what we call it around here, but the long version is the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. We go up there every year to join more than 10,000 of our closest street rodding friends, and this year was no different. We had a great event with lots of great business, but we…
Read MoreT-Buckets Come to Honest Charley!
Honest Charley Speed Shop is known for its deep roots in the hot rodding industry, and T-Buckets have been a big part of the scene for many years. In fact, Mike Goodman (Honest Mike) built a T-Bucket in the ’70s and drove it all over the United States. Now, the National T-Bucket Alliance is bringing…

It’s really great to have a national street rod event just up the road from our shop in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Even if we don’t set up as a vendor at these semi-local shows, we always like to go check ’em out, to see all the cars and potentially find a cool deal in the swap…
Read MoreCruise In Again!
For those of you who came out for our Cruise In last September, you know it was a great event, with 300 of the coolest cars and trucks in this area. It was so successful that we’re doing it again in 2012–one in the spring and one in the fall! Our first Cruise In will…
Read MoreNew Shirts!
We’ve noticed over the years that people love Honest Charley T-shirts, so a few years ago, several new designs were introduced to add a little spice to the regular Honest logo shirt. The new shirts were quite popular, but many of them have certainly run their course on the market, so we’re ready to throw…
Read MoreHonest Charley Hisself
Every day we think about Charley Card and we try to emulate his way of doing business in each and every customer interaction. We always treat our customers like our best friends, the way ol’ Honest Charley Hisself would’ve treated them. We have huge footsteps to fill, but it’s our job (and our passion) to…
Read MoreHot Rods in Paradise
We have a thing for hot rods, and historic drag strips are a huge part of the hot rodding community. Drag strips played a big part in promoting the hobby back in the day, and the ones that are still around do a great job of keeping the vintage spirit alive. We thoroughly enjoy visiting…
