We should take a tour of the car museum. I hear it is pretty cool. You have to schedule the tours. Anybody got any connections?

Is this at his personal home? I've been to that one. Pretty cool cars. This is for Harold Coker.
Who has Honest Charleys now? Isn't it Coker?

There is a museum of some sort at Honest Charley's. They have a Ferrari and some older cars. I don't know if they change out the collection or not. It is within walking distance from my house and I see them out on the streets from time to time. They are the world's leading supplier of some sort of tire. I think they manufacture replica tires for antique cars too. I don't know if you can get a personal tour but I think a group tour can be arranged.

I worked part time at Honest Charley's back about '69-'70 when I was in high school. Back when the Espy's owned it. I lived a couple of blocks over from the Espy's in Woodmore. I hadn't thought about those days in a long time.

I've been in the museum at Cokers house. It's pretty cool if you're a car guy.

Hey, Manly, you might have worked there about the same time as my aunt. I'll have to ask her when she worked there.

Just talked to her. She doesn't remember when she started, but she left in '74. She was an assistant to one of the managers.
