Self guided tour, you can stay as short or as long as you like, take as many pictures as you like, friendly people, nice gift shop, lots of T-shirts, beautiful cars, motorcycles and memorabilia, it s a walk down memory lane .you can observe a working speed shop and restoration work, (places for the wives to sit down & restrooms are available) observe wooden spokes being made, all around great experience if you enjoy classic cars and memorabilia, lots of neon car signs, QR codes to access videos about vehicles if you want more information, definitely worth the price of admission, museum can be rented out for after hour events/receptions, lots of parking available

This has a wealth of automotive history that is not about the main ones we see. Cars that were built in the US and pioneered some parts that were ahead of its time.

This is definitely a museum for classic car lovers. Our family with our 4 children loved it. We especially liked seeing how they still make wooden tires.

Awesome cars and super friendly staff. We even got to hear a 1940s race car start up and drove out of the garage! Definitely recommend

They had 50 cars and trucks, 50 motorcycles, and 4 airplanes on display when I visited in June 2019. I love that the museum is attached to the speed shop, where you can see works in progress. They also have a wood shop where they reproduce wooden wheels and other wood items. It was a great experience!

What an awesome shop and the Coker Tire museum is one of the best that I have seen. Staff is super friendly and always stopped to chat and tell about the many vehicles/motorcycles they had on display. Thanks for sharing!

Had a great time, much larger than I expected, a lot different vehicles from the norm, different tools, cool vintage advertising. We meet Corky on the tour, that was a nice surprise, extremely down to earth, shook our hands and talked with us a while, great guy. I'd go back

Called their phone number and got the recorded message saying the museum was open from 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. Drove 40 miles to get there and found a note on the door saying" Deliveries Only ". You'd think if they're closed to the public because of Covid, they'd change the message on the phone.
