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.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
