Hank Williams Sr Where did he die? 1949 Cadillac
Around 1988 WTVK Channel 26 in Knoxville, TN had a series of videos they did on country music. They did one on Hank Sr and the story of his last day. Did he die in Grainger County or Knoxville, TN? Featured in this video is my 1949 Cadillac. I portray the driver "Carr". I think I was 17 when this was filmed. Channel 26 contacted me at the time about doing the re-creation video because of my car. I wasn't paid a dime and it took about 8 hours of filming time. I didn't care I just wanted to show off my car and be on TV. Yes, I know Hank's driver drove a 1952 Caddy. When this was filmed there was not one available so they used my 1949 Series 62.
