A Piece of My Heart, a Part of Tulsa’s Memories
Some decisions take a long time to find the words for. Selling our beloved OKIE DOKIE the TROLLEY is one of those decisions.
Since taking ownership of Old Urban Trolley in 2007, I have had the privilege of helping people make memories throughout Tulsa. Weddings, Christmas light tours, family celebrations, and special outings—each trip has been part of a story that I am grateful to have shared.
OKIE DOKIE is a true jewel. She has carried wedding parties into their next chapter, families through twinkling Christmas lights, and guests through the city we love. To me, she has always been much more than a vehicle. She holds years of laughter, joy, and moments that people will remember long after the ride is over.
To every client who has trusted us with those moments: thank you. You have given this work so much meaning, and you are the reason this decision is so emotional.
Why I’m Ready to Slow Down
Life has been asking more of me lately, especially as my family navigates medical needs and the care of aging parents. My heart is telling me that it is time to slow down and make more room for the people I love.
I have spent years helping other families make lasting memories. Now, I want to give myself more time to make those memories with my own family while I have that opportunity.
That doesn’t make letting go easy. I love this trolley, the people she has brought into my life, and everything she represents. But I know that making room for family is a decision I will treasure.
OKIE DOKIE will be available for purchase after June 15, 2027.
My Hope Is That Her Story Continues in Tulsa
My greatest hope is that someone right here in Tulsa will fall in love with her and want to continue the wonderful memories and traditions we have built through Old Urban Trolley.
I would love to see her keep rolling through Tulsa—bringing smiles, welcoming wedding parties, and carrying families on the holiday outings they look forward to each year. It would mean so much to know that her next chapter could keep those traditions alive for our community.
If you have ever dreamed of owning a trolley and creating experiences that people cherish, perhaps you are the person who will help write that next chapter.
Our 30-passenger, rear-engine trolley has received several significant updates:
Engine rebuilt by Premier Truck Group in September 2025.
Six new tires installed shortly after the engine work.
Currently just 5,479 miles on the rebuilt engine and tires.
Rear bushings replaced in October 2026.
Two air conditioning units, three heaters, and separate driver air and heat.
We Still Have More Memories to Make
Old Urban Trolley will continue serving you with our smaller vehicles. We still look forward to being part of your celebrations and special outings as I move into a slower season of life.
The sale is for OKIE DOKIE the TROLLEY herself, and I am hoping to find someone who sees the joy and possibility in keeping her journey going.
If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out to me for pricing and additional details. I would love to talk with someone who will appreciate what a special jewel she is.
Thank you, Tulsa, for every reservation, every kind word, and every memory. You have made these years so special.
With a grateful heart,
Shannon Palmer
