George Barris and Corky Coker

At the opening of our exhibit at the NHRA Museum it all came together. Casey did a great job building the exhibits for Coker Tire's 50th and Honest Charley's 60th Anniversaries. Everyone was really enjoying the opening if the displays. It was really something special to see all these pieces of our history on display. It was also my pleasure to spend some time with one of the car hobby's most influential people, ever. And I mean EVER! The legendary George Barris was with us, as his famous 1949 Mercury Custom is proudly included in our exhibit. Barris' custom Mercury is widely regarded as the most famous custom Mercury of all time, and by some as the father-car of all customs! George and I had a chance to do this little video blog during all the festivities. I hope you enjoy it.
