Today we bring a visit to the Coker Tires Company in Chattanooga.
Coker Tires is the number one supplier of tires for classic cars in the world.
And they put our Model T on rubber during our world tour.
When we enter the office our names are on the notice board at the reception

Unfortunately there is no Model T in the collection, but Dirk knows how to solve this.
