I hope quality remains as high as CC has had. Coker tires leave a lot to be desired.

Hope Jerry & Scott are happy with the deal. Both great guys & a great company. Most of us old timers remember when most of these business started out in the back of a pickup or on a car trailer.

Re: rumor: corvette central bought by Coker tire

I suspect their market space is at best stagnant, maybe shrinking. So not surprising to see consolidation.

Re: rumor: corvette central bought by Coker tire

I hope they don't start souring all their parts off shore as is typical when these mergers happen

Re: rumor: corvette central bought by Coker tire

So Paragon and Corvette Central will be owned by same company?

Re: rumor: corvette central bought by Coker tire

This is a bad year for Corvettes in general! The shrinking market for C-1 and C-2 parts as Resto-Rods are marking their way in!

And don't forget we are getting old and exiting the scene! Prices for Corvettes are hitting the roof!

Corvette Central has always been a great supplier of parts over the years, I'm assuming they will continue to have their own product line as Paragon does, but wonder if some items may be consolidated. Hope we don't loose choices.

First LIC and now this, not good news for us and our cars I'm afraid.

Re: rumor: corvette central bought by Coker tire

The same holding company owns Paragon and now Corvette Central. I think I see a merger ahead.....

Re: rumor: corvette central bought by Coker tire

Coker does not have a quality product, even though they get top price for their tires. I hope this lack of interest in their customers does move over to the newly acquired companies. Our hobby cant remain up scaled when the products for reiteration are not up to standard.
