Today, we lost a legend.

Hulk Hogan wasn’t just a wrestling icon, he was a true gearhead and a friend of the shop.
He loved classic cars, loud engines, and the kind of craftsmanship that never goes out of style.

We shared stories, laughs, and a passion for the machines that move us.
He was larger than life, and so was his heart.

Rest easy, brother.
You’ll always have a spot in our garage and in our memories.

We’re rollin’ back to 1925, literally.

Thank you to Christina Byrd for the pictures!

To honor the Scopes Trial Centennial, we loaded up a few of our finest vintage rides and made the trip from Chattanooga to Dayton.

These beauties from The Coker Museum will be on display right on the courthouse lawn, just like they would’ve been a hundred years ago.

Steel, wood, and whitewalls, all from the era that made history.

If you’re near Dayton this weekend, come take a walk through time with us.

What a day at the shop!

We had a packed house for Collector Car Appreciation Day, hot rods, classics, customs, and cruisers lined up outside Coker Tire, with stories and smiles to match.

Big thanks to everyone who rolled in, grabbed a hot dog, toured the museum, and shared the love for these beautiful machines.

This kind of turnout reminds us why we do what we do.

If you came by, we’re glad you did. If you missed it, we’ll see you next time.

If you love ‘em, come see ‘em.
We’ll be here.

Long, low, and full of class.

This postwar Cadillac in the museum is everything that made America fall in love with the open road—sleek curves, wide whites, and chrome for days.

It didn’t just get you there. It made an entrance.

Come see it in person at Honest Charley. But fair warning… you might start talking with a little more swagger after.

Art? Engineering? Yes.

This old straight-six isn’t just a motor—it’s a piece of mechanical history.
Hand-cast, hand-fit, and ready to roar when most folks were still riding horses.

You’ll find it on display at Honest Charley, right in front of a wall of scale models that remind us where it all started—and how far we’ve come.

Engines like this didn’t just move cars. They moved a generation.

Rough around the edges. Loud under the hood. Just how we like it.

This Honest Charley hot rod ain’t built for polish—it’s built for personality.
Flathead-style attitude with a V8 bark, whitewalls with stories, and patina that’s earned, not painted on.

You don’t drive this car to impress folks.
You drive it because you can’t help yourself.

Before Zoom, before email… there was this.

This ol’ dictation machine helped folks get the job done—one wax cylinder and raspy microphone at a time.

You’ll find it tucked inside the museum at Honest Charley, alongside the cars, parts, and tools that shaped how America moved and worked.

Not everything here’s got wheels—but it all tells a story.

Mark your calendars for Thursday! This week we’re featuring the ‘51 Shoebox Ford custom, which has been heavily modified by our guys here at Honest Charley Garage.

This car was almost a year in the making for the 2013 Street Rodder Road Tour and we’re taking it out for a cruise!
