Elvis Presley’s car.
Dwight Yoakum had a hit years ago called, Guitars, Cadillacs and Hillbilly Music. Anybody visiting Nashville will quickly realize the truth of the words to that song title. Laurie and I visited the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum to see what all we could find.
The museum featured many items from country music history. Clothes of the past singers like Hank Williams and many others were on display. Guitars were everywhere from the music archives. I took many photos of these relics. After all I am a guitarist.
Waylon Jennings’ telecaster guitar. I saw him play this one in person.
Walls of gold and platinum albums were present to see. When I say walls, I mean walls!
There were two old cars in the museum. One was a Cadillac owned by Elvis Presley. This car had gold hardware o it. the back seat area had a television, recording equipment and a radio. WOW! The other car was once owned by Web Pierce. This car featured handgun door handles, both in the exterior and interior of the car. Rifles were anchored along the sides of both rear fenders. A handgun hood ornament was in place, too. He must have loved his guns. His dash and console were covered with silver dollars. The console was, also, done in a miniature leather saddle. It was, also covered with silver dollars. Must be nice to have money!
