Sad to say that Del Cokley of St. Clair, MO passed on Monday Sept. 9, 2019. He was a member of the Rt. 66 Car Club for many years and they put on their annual Fathers Day car show every year plus numerous cruise-ins. He was also proprietor of American Motorcars on old Rt.66 in St. Clair. He will be missed greatly.
Condolences to the Cokley Family and Friends on the passing of Del...Thanks for sharing this loss to the Community with us @Montana1. May he Rest in Peace in the Hotrod Sky...
Del requested to not have a visitation or traditional funeral, but wished to be cremated. So, Rt. 66 Car Club is talking about doing a tribute Cruise-in for Del sometime in October '19. I'll keep you posted. "Show Me Burnouts" is also having a Car Show, Burn-out contest and Dyno day, this Saturday, Sept 14, 2019 in St. Clair, MO with a tribute to Del... Come and enjoy the event! This is what Del would prefer. http://business.stclairmo.org/events/details/3rd-annual-show-me-burnouts-6980
