I loved Hank Senior's music, since I was a little girl, and I'm 53 now. I named my son Luke. Hank III, looks and sounds just like his grandpa, he's almost like his ghost. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤
I found one of his albums in a thrift store while back, it was hid behind a small piece of plywood that the rest of the albums was stacked on, I think someone hid it, but I found it. The album has Hank and Audrey singing together, only paid .25 cents for it. Me and the woman I was seeing took it so her dad could see it, he was about 80 yrs old. We played it for him on a old record player, he cried like a baby, especially when Hank sang "I dreamed about mama last night".
I visited it & Hanks grave some years ago. Knowing I was a fan, my wife took me there for our anniversary. I met William "Lum" York there. He was the bass player in "The Drifting Cowboys".Mr. York signed an old concert poster I had with a picture of Hank & the Drifting Cowboys. He said he'd come up from Baton Rough to see friends & visit the museum. A few years later I read in "Rolling Stone" that he'd passed away. I played guitar, sang, & got drunk at Hanks grave. I can't remember ever being so happy and so sad at the same time. I thank these people for keeping the memory of Hank alive.roballen2
I saw the museum about six years ago. I was there when the doors opened. And I got to meet this nice lady. She basically gave me a personal tour. She answered all my questions. I thanked her and I was getting ready to leave. And she asked have you seen the statue and the grave site. I said no. I didn't know about any of these things. Well she said you caint go home without seeing the statue and the grave site. She gave me a map of points of interest around Montgomery. For me it very interesting. And I enjoyed the visit. And recommend the museum if your interested in Hank Williams.
what a beautiful color car. it had the old Continental kit on the back of it. Fancy. Not a fan of country, but the old stars of yesteryear are still part of our past no matter who we are. If we didn't listen to it, someone we knew did. RIP Hank.
I toured this lovely museum in 2011. There was a band and flea market upstairs. Country Ho Down music. Then take a walk over to see the outside statue of Hank. If I go anywhere near Alabama again, I must stop here again and visit his final resting place once again.
I had a great album by Hank Williams 40 Greatest Hits and a record of The Health And Happiness Recordings and wjen I put it on the turntable it was pure magic.
What I wouldn't give to see Hank Jr take this car on a Nationwide cruise. Also, it's kinda hard to believe that Hank would've been 100 years old this year.
my wife is nearly 80 years old and has grown up listing 2 hanks music. in our house we are always playing his songs.he is the best singer songwriter ever seen .long may he regin,
That's not the original car Hank died in the original car is in a museum in Nashville Tennessee I know I visited the museum in Nashville and seen the original car Hank died in there
I've been fascinated by for years even though he died 3 years before I was born. Probably the only reason I'd go to Alabama unless there's something on Helen Keller.
I'm a HUGE Hank fan. I've been to see the Museum several times... One thing I always wondered about the Cadillac, though... I wonder why Hank chose the Series 62 instead of the new Eldorado? Maybe they weren't available yet? The really kool thing about that Series 62, though... Hank must have custom-ordered it with the Fleetwood hash marks, spotlights and Continental spare... He was stylin'!
He did have spina bifida. He suffered with it most of his life. That's why he was prescribed chloral hydrate, that and alcohol was a deadly combination. Drs at the time didn't know that and that combination killed him.
Be sure to visit Chris' Hot Dog Stand (opened in 1917, still in its original location on Dexter Ave. in Montgomery, and still owned and operated by the same family). It's just a short walk from the Hank Williams Museum to Chris', where Hank wrote his hit song,"Hey Good Looking', What ya got cookin'?" You see, this was this pretty waitress working there, and........, Well, you can guess the rest!.... It's part of the experience!
absolutely. I felt like I was in Seattle, Denver,or Austin. the streets were full of soy,humas kale key waa shinny jean man bun bi-ch boys. Cashville has outlawed country music. I went into a bar and was wanting just a Miller lite, instead of micro beers,wine or bullshit mixed drinks. some band on stage played 6 hip hop tunes, 3 grunge song ( I didn't mind grunge when I was doing a lot of heroin) and closed their show with shitty version of Johnny Cash's cover of a Bob Dylan song.
Think about it, that tail light was designed to be an emergency microphone, in case he had a sudden urge, he would simply pull off to the side of the road, get his guitar out, and sing into his tail light/ microphone, and the music would play through his radio. I don't know who the joker was, trying to tell you that is where you put the gas in. Don't you believe a word of it, that tail light was his emergency microphone. ........gas cap hidden in the tail light, that is just too funny!
@@quentindugger5389 you simply took his statement wrong and he worded it wrong. He was simply complimenting the car even had it not been owned by HW.. thats what he meant. It was no knock on Hank

No one man touched the soul like hank williams. He was the true king of country music. God bless him.
Hank Williams was a great poet and singer . The best 👍

I would be in tears walking around that place.
All the way from Norway l visit the museum in may 2014! A great experience!!
should have come to Municipal auditorium in Shreveport, Louisiana. Country Music's biggest star were given a start there. (Elvis Included)
Glenn Johnson Thanks to Phil and all the team for helping me fulfill my lifetime dream in visiting Hank`s site.
Hank's a legend, thanks for sharing!
My Dad got to see him live, as Hank Williams was his favorite artist, so we grew up on his great music.
A visit to this museum is on my bucket list.
Hank Williams Sr. He was a true legend. I would love to visit. Love his music

I've been here several times. Awesome place. It's like stepping back in time. It's close to a 3 hour drive from Huntsville AL where I'm from.
Thank you for sharing 💕 legendary Hank Williams ❣️ Love 💗

Thanks, enjoyable little report. I was raised in Montgomery, left in '78. I'll try to visit the museum next time I get back over there.

1953! And he influenced country music right up to today!
Hank Williams = #Legend

Enjoyed the visit love his Cadillac. my brother had a baby blue 55 Caddy.
What I wouldn't give to see Hank Jr take this car on a Nationwide cruise.
Also, it's kinda hard to believe that Hank would've been 100 years old this year.
we went last month,very interesting place
So sad and so young, especially for a child to loose his father at such a young age. Was the car given to Mr. Carr, the young driver, at that time?
It was taken from Carr after being given to him

Visited here about 1992.
I should go
my wife is nearly 80 years old and has grown up listing 2 hanks music. in our house we are always playing his songs.he is the best singer songwriter ever seen .long may he regin,
Born Sept 15 two days before Hank. Us Virgos are deep people
hank Williams was a really good guy.
That's not the original car Hank died in the original car is in a museum in Nashville Tennessee I know I visited the museum in Nashville and seen the original car Hank died in there
I've been fascinated by for years even though he died 3 years before I was born. Probably the only reason I'd go to Alabama unless there's something on Helen Keller.

I'm a HUGE Hank fan.

Oh man, you sound like my brother in law Joe.
My late beloved father and I are both Virgos as well.. my father's birthday just 10 days after Hank Williams.
Ethanol Room ero hear,I wanna go There I was born 1991. In The O.K. city.
I was there
Was there and it is a beautiful car if your ever in Mongomery visit the museum
I heard that Hank had spina bifna which was never diagnosed until his death. The pain from the condition started off on drugs
He did have spina bifida. He suffered with it most of his life. That's why he was prescribed chloral hydrate, that and alcohol was a deadly combination. Drs at the time didn't know that and that combination killed him.
Hey Beth, how are you doing! Long time no see since my last trip to the museum.
Lmao
@@NoFearMarinesAreHereROBLOX What's so funny?
How come they never give a good view of the car or show the interior ?
And Poor Hank knew he was about to become a new Father very soon ..
Sadly His New Baby was Born 6 day's after He passed away ..
Very sad .
Jr was 3 years old when sr died
ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!
How many miles on that car ?
Be sure to visit Chris' Hot Dog Stand (opened in 1917, still in its original location on Dexter Ave. in Montgomery, and still owned and operated by the same family). It's just a short walk from the Hank Williams Museum to Chris', where Hank wrote his hit song,"Hey Good Looking', What ya got cookin'?" You see, this was this pretty waitress working there, and........, Well, you can guess the rest!.... It's part of the experience!
Does she still work there? I'm on my way!
@@stewartfenton7660 Maybe, but she probably doesn't look the same , 70 years later!
@@rogerlee3941 I like older women. But maybe there's a limit.
What year the car is it a 52 or 53
I toured this place back in the day when it was on music row in Nashville before it went condo heaven. don't go to Nashville it's already gone..
absolutely. I felt like I was in Seattle, Denver,or Austin. the streets were full of soy,humas kale key waa shinny jean man bun bi-ch boys. Cashville has outlawed country music.

Got me a 48 buihog 8 ragtime top in A.Z
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE TAIL LIGHT STICKING UP IN THE AIR??
DO WHAT
The tail light lifts up to give you access to the fuel cap.
Think about it, that tail light was designed to be an emergency microphone, in case he had a sudden urge, he would simply pull off to the side of the road, get his guitar out, and sing into his tail light/ microphone, and the music would play through his radio. I don't know who the joker was, trying to tell you that is where you put the gas in. Don't you believe a word of it, that tail light was his emergency microphone. ........gas cap hidden in the tail light, that is just too funny!
That's where you fill the gas tank, under the lift up taillight!
@@rogerlee3941 its sad how many people dont know that
Hank died in 1952 Dec. He was pronounced in Jan 1953.
What?
My favorite song you can not get out world alive I Saw the light lots good old country blue grass county gospel don't like that New so call country
I was there. Looks the same
All of us never get out of this world alive! We all die so that part of the song lyric doesn't really make sense.
You can be raptured out.
I swear that Hank is my distance cousin although I never met him
You ever thought his grandson would like something besides a tie ... Feel Srry for 3
he didnt own eugenics.
My car
That is one beautiful vehicle, despite that is was owned by hank williams
Really
I know right
What is your problem?
@@quentindugger5389 you simply took his statement wrong and he worded it wrong. He was simply complimenting the car even had it not been owned by HW.. thats what he meant. It was no knock on Hank
Bad comment
That's the car he died in
