LAST ONE--An Emotional Reveal of Harold Coker's Final Project Car

Emotions are at an all time high on the grounds of Coker Tire and Honest Charley on this cloudy day in March. We started the day by putting the final touches on a 1912 Thomas Flyer, and revealing it to the car's new owner. You see, this Thomas Flyer was our founder, Harold Coker's last project car, before he passed away suddenly in November of last year. It was a long way from being finished at the time of his passing, but Corky Coker encouraged the guys at Honest Charley to complete it in time for the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. The car was passed down to Corky's brother, David Coker, who saw the finished product for the first time this morning. Lill Coker was also on hand for the reveal, and it's safe to say there wasn't a dry eye in the house when the Coker's saw the tag that Howard Horn hand-lettered to finish off the build. Keep reading for a touching video of the reveal and a bunch of pictures of Harold's Last One. This car means a lot to the entire Coker family, and you can bet it will be proudly displayed on the show field at Amelia. It's a valuable piece of Harold Coker's collection, and it's made up of extremely rare original components. With beautiful paint, highly polished brass and a smooth-running T-head engine, Harold would've been proud of this one. We can just hear him now...
