[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

To pay tribute to our Christmas “Rent-A-Wreck” I give you, My loyal readers, The song of the day.

A great one by Johnny Cash, called One Piece At A Time.

Written by Wayne Kemp and recorded by Johnny Cash is 1976.

And my favorite little piece of info:

Bruce Fitzpatrick, owner of Abernathy Auto Parts and Hilltop Auto Salvage in Nashville, TN, was asked by the promoters of the song to build the vehicle for international promotion. Bruce had all the different models of Cadillacs mentioned in the song when it was released, and built a Cadillac using the song as a model. The car was presented to Cash in April 1976. It was parked for a few weeks outside The House Of Cash in Hendersonville, Tennessee, until someone could find a place to store it.”
