In Chattanooga’s West Village, cars - and car aficionados - are gathering to rev up one of the top auto events nationwide.

That’s where this year’s Chattanooga Motorcar Festival will take place - Friday, October 13th through Sunday, October 15th.

The Festival is more than a showcase - it raises money for neuroscience research.

Corky Coker - a Grand Marshal Emeritus of the Festival - is former CEO of Coker Tire, and a collector of classic automobiles and motorcycles.
