This YouTuber visited the private garage of country-music legend Johnny Cash, west of Nashville, Tennessee, in the US to check out the iconic cars within.

The private farm, known as the Hideaway, was where the musician escaped from public life.

It’s filled with vintage cars, motorcycles, and historic music memorabilia.

Hideaway museum

Hideaway Farm Museum is located in Bon Aqua, Tennessee – just a short drive from the country music mecca of Memphis.

It’s a must-see for anyone interested in knowing more about country music icon, Johnny Cash.

YouTuber Sean, behind Junkyards and Barn Finds with Sean, took us on a tour of the hallowed and historic property.

He sees a 1910 Buick, a national first prize winner in 1968 that featured in the movie Seabiscuit and was also used in the first Super Bowl commercial with Glenn Ford.

A classic Harley-Davidson motorcycle is also found in the garage, alongside a whimsical Wienermobile styled like a hot dog, and various bicycles from across history.

An expansive toy room is signposted by an Evel Knievel trike hanging from the wall outside that’s piled high with vintage Tonka trucks and diecast models.

Johnny Cash cars

Now onto the iconic cars and a 1947 Lincoln Continental featuring push-button handles, which was a characteristic detail of its time.

One Piece At A Time was a song that Johnny Cash recorded in 1976 – his last song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and the last of his songs to reach the Billboard Hot 100.

The song tells the story of a poor auto worker who, over the years, took Cadillac parts home, before building a composite car from many models.

The One Piece at a Time Cadillac itself is built from parts spanning multiple years, inspired by the song.

Party Mobile Limo is labeled ‘Johnny Paycheck’s Car’.

Equipped with shag carpet, a TV, a refrigerator, a divider, and a jump seat, it’s an embodiment of 70s style and opulence.

The collection also includes the last car of Johnny Cash’s first wife, Vivian.

Converted into a monument, it marks a significant piece of the musician’s personal history.

Another sad relic is Johnny Cash’s last truck, which was preserved as a moving part of the musician’s personal history.

Other classic car collections to visit include that of the Prince of Monaco located in Monaco’s La Condamine district

With classic cars in mind, here’s everything you need to know about maintaining and preserving a collection.
