The Savoy Automobile museum welcomes Joseph “Corky” Coker, Jeff Chattin, and Ken Gross to talk about “Fast Brass” on December 2nd.
Savoy Automobile Museum
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA – In conjunction with the Fast Brass exhibition, join the Savoy for their latest special presentation, Fast Talk about Fast Brass. Extravagant brass trim, overstated brass headlights and wide, wooden wagon wheel tires demarcated an experimental period of racing in the earliest years of car production, the 1890s through 1910s. On December 2, 2022, three brass era experts, Joseph “Corky” Coker, Jeff Chattin, and Ken Gross, will jump into a fast-paced discussion on Brass Era vehicles, their history and the intricacies of driving them! Ever a racing enthusiast and more than a tire manufacturer, Corky’s vision and leadership have defined the car collector hobby for half a century. He grew his Chattanooga-based, family-owned company, Coker Tire, into a renowned, worldwide producer of tires with household names like BFGoodrich and Firestone. Jeff Chattin, owner of JC Picture Cars and a brass-era car enthusiast himself, will bring Hollywood’s perspective to the discussion. As a guest curator of Savoy Automobile Museum and a former executive director of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, Ken Gross will moderate what will surely be a dynamic and breakneck discourse.
