Collector Car Appreciation Day Cruise In at Coker Tire

Every year since 2010, we have the opportunity to celebrate Collector Car Appreciation Day on the second Friday in July. This year, the holiday landed on Friday, July 12th and we threw a big party to celebrate. We invited local car folks to join us for a free hot dog lunch and a cool cruise in, and we were blown away with the turnout this year! With temperatures slated for the mid 90s, and the fact that it was midday on a week day, we didn't expect such a great gathering of classic cars, muscle cars, hot rods and cool trucks. There were lots of Coker Tire products on the property, and lots of long-time customers hanging out with us on the front porch. We never got an official car count because some folks came early and left early and some folks arrived late, but we're estimating about 100 cars came out in the course of the three-hour event. Take a look at some of the highlights from the day, and you can see more on our Instagram page and Facebook page.
