About this audio guide
This guide to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville follows Elvis Presley's solid gold Cadillac, customized by George Barris in nineteen sixty, from a Hollywood shop into a traveling promotional stunt run by his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. You'll hear how the car crossed the American South in nineteen sixty-five and later toured Australia for charity, drawing crowds who never saw Elvis in person. Stand close to spot the diamond dust and fish scales mixed into its paint.
