- Thanks for watching! hope you all enjoyed watching this video as much as I did making it. I've always loved this song, so I figured I'd make an attempt to put this car together piece by piece
On vacation with my parents when I was 8 in 1977, we stopped at Johnny's recording studio. While we were there, he drove into the parking lot with that car. I have a picture of Johnny with his arm around me and the one piece at a time Cadillac behind us. That's pretty cool! I've been a fan of his music ever since.
Awesome memory and experience! That's super cool!!! 👍👍👍
Can you show the photo, that’s incredible history!
Definitely one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs. I loved him as a kid, still, love his music now.
Remember, it was never about the car specs, it was about driving everybody wild for having the only kind there is around
"Negatory on the cost of this machine, you might say I went down to the factory and picked it up its cheaper that way" been laughing at that since I was a child.
Great video, found it because wanted to show my wife the actual cars
Great story. Thanks for sharing! Fred
Also my favorit song from Johny Cash - 🙂😘🥰
DUDE. I have a picture of myself, my siblings and a cousin with our dad taking a picture next to THIS CAR!!!. It was taken at the Johnny Cash musuem in Memphis in the early 80's!!! I can't believe this car is still around!!! This will always be one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs and one of my favorite memories.
I came across your post when I saw the following something similar about "A Man Spent 17 Years Building a Perfect Lamborghini in His Basement" and I remembered this song from a trucker's collection tape. Good job.
My wife and I recently visited Johnny Cash's Hideaway Farm in Bon Aqua Tennessee. It was totally awesome! I actually got to sit in the one piece at a time car. The people that own it now are awesome
And to this day some how this car still looks more beautiful than today's cars
My expectations were pretty low, but you exceeded them.😎
Honestly, you did a great job analyzing Johnny Cash’s “psycho-billy” Cadillac from the song and ballparking how the actual car might have been assembled, etc. I’m not familiar with your channel but I know the song which is how I ended up here. I thought you did a nice job laying everything out and I enjoyed your video. 🧨
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed!
Hey, Hyundai Veloster has a version with 3 doors, so, i think you now know 2 cars that have 3 doors.
Wait really?
Yep, ya can see it right here: ruclips.net/video/kADqA1O3vzo/видео.html
Saturn sc2's are 3 doors as well
97 f150 has 3 door's

My Dad bought a dark green Cadillac, a 1952 model. My Dad died in 1955. At 16 I received my Drivers Licence, and, of course my first car was that 1952 Cadillac. One day with my buddies in the car, we had to stop for gas. I asked for "25 cents" worth of gas. The attendant asked, "Do you want it in the gas tank or the carborator?" That phrase made it that year's Year Book, "25 cents worth of gas, please". In Hamilton, Ontario gas was about 5 cents per litre in those days, about $1 dollar a gallon. Of course I dreamed about that car for decades! BTW that 1952 car was the 50th Anniversary for Cadillac. The "V" on the front was in gold leaf! And, of course "One Piece at a Time" is one of my favourite Johnny Cash songs. A retired Catholic priest in Canada.
Love Johnny. I had the honor of seeing him in Scranton, PA, in the early 80s, a week after he guested on SNL.
Here because shuffle on my ipod played this song for the first time ever... just like the Cadillac, his song is one of a kind!
The driver side front has two headlights. They look like they were off of a 63/64 Cadillac not the 58. Just pointing that out
All you need is a liitle help from an A- dapter kit.
Many of the guesses weren't even close, but I enjoyed the video. And the Brougham name, which was on just about everything by the 1970s, is indeed hard to pronounce, and, thankfully, long out of use.
We stopped by Storyteller in Bon Aqua a week ago and saw the car. Also did a tour of the farm. Met the owners Brian and Sally. This is something that should be on everyone’s bucket list. So interesting. Enjoyed this video after seeing the car. As mentioned in this video there aren’t pics of the inside, but I can assure you it’s like the rest of the car - all pieced together. Great job on this video. You should go see it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed in the car or it’s hosts.
Hello Spoilerz. Johnny Cash was one of a kind, and so was his psycho-billy Cadillac. One piece at a time is beyond being a great song. It stirs up the imagination in this 61 year old. Thank you for adding to the aura of the song with your interesting details
I loved that song since I was 11
Brougham - Bro Ham
Great video, answers a long-term question of mine.
thank you for explaining how one can take a bunch of parts and make a good car that was the most funwhen we did it
You definitely have a lot of potential at being a big youtuber, keep it up
So much time it took to make this car. As odd as it looks I would be so proud if I had made it
Definitely a strange kind of beauty!
And even prouder to own it!
Remember, gearing is different depending on purpose during that time. The gears were much shorter in a caddy leading to a smoother ride with slower acceleration and higher top speed. It's likely the car wouldn't have been fast and that the gears in the transmission would be fragile at best.
Thank you Johnny I think it's a fantastic car and song and I do hope the car is preserved forever we will remember the song.
How about breaking down the Dodge Super Stock from the Beach Boys version of "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena?" The interesting part of it is this lyric: "You'll see her all the time just gettin her kicks now / With her four speed stick and a four-two-six now ... " The thing is, the song was released in 1964, and in that year the largest engine available for the Dodge Dart Super Stock was a 415 Max Wedge. The 426 is the Hemi engine known as the Elephant, which required a special transmission. The pair was available ONLY to NASCAR racing teams. In fact, Ford complained to the NASCAR rulemakers that the Elephant was not a "stock" engine because the public could not buy them, and NASCAR agreed.As a result, Chrysler boycotted the 1965 NASCAR season and sold a few Elephants as custom orders that year while designing a downpowered version of the Elephant as the "Street Hemi." After the Street Hemi was available, NASCAR retroactively okayed the Elephant for track use. This requires some explaining.
Chrysler also made a 426 Max Wedge in those days, which is likely what was in there.
You could have at least used the original song
I tried to, but youtube kept demonetizing the video, even if I only used a segment, forcing me to use a cover instead
Spoilerz i understand buddy great video. I never thought anyone would ever think of doing a video about this ahahaha
Copyright laws. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
I saw this car in 1989 in Memphis at The House of Cash, the museum in Memphis. Idk if it’s still open now. Thanks
Glad to see i brought back memories!
I'd build one if I could get my hands on the parts
I'd use it as a daily driver too (In Australia)
"The people of the world that we call B-Girls like bars on a Cadillac BROME!!"
400 horsepower was the SAE gross rating which is measured with the engine driving nothing but the oil pump, even the water pump is externally driven (usually by a small electric motor), no exhaust beyond the headers, and no air filter. If you want to see this method watch any of the Nick's Garage videos where they dyno an engine.
In 1972 they switched to SAE net which is a far lower but much more realistic number because it adds the restrictions and loads present in the vehicle it is going in.
So 400 HP is high compression (10.0:1) SAE gross
365 HP was lower compression (8.5:1) SAE gross
235 HP was lower compression SAE net
Im not sure if the video lags but some of the parts you mentioned wherent from the years you said. Im not a Cadillac specialist, (I do early 70s Lincolns) but there are some that are very distinctive if you've worked on them.
Also, the car is heavier than 5500lbs. I would say at least 6300lbs because all those parts need new breacketry, adapters and all that. The car looks to be a 68 frame. The hardest part for such a car woul dbe the windshield and firewall and chassis, and the front doors.
Of course the easier would be to decode the VIN....
Anyway, still a curious car. What kind of bugs me is what ever happened to car used in the promo photos of the album (or was it a single?), you know, the white one wil different color door and fender. That I would think would have the most historical value that this car that was basically a fan made car (still interesting but)
Don't forget to add the weight of the title.
I read that car on the cover photo was destroyed after word
Actually I think back in the 90s Saturn made the first Legit 3 door car with the S-series.
Pronunciation of Brougham: Just put these two words together: bro + ham. Bro-ham.
Told my wife about this song and she found you 🤣 thanks 👍
I would love to see your reaction to
Red Victor 3
Originally a family car from the 80's
Take a look at it now
Awesome machine
Be very interesting getting your opinion on it
Lots of footage from the red Victor team and behind scenes walkthrough the car ect
One can't deny she's a master piece
That was always My Favorite Song of His.
I'd love to see this car in person.
Awesome song and cool car another odd car that would be cool to see is the Hardcastle and McCormick VW Coyote which changes through out the series
I'd love to check that out!
How about doing a story on The Red Barchetta from Rush!?
I've never heard of that! Whats it about?
@@spoilerz9795 ruclips.net/video/FAvQSkK8Z8U/видео.html :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barchetta
@@charleskelly1247 ill see what I can do😉
Hi. The storytellers museum where the car is currently located is in my hometown. My father owns a shop in said town and works on the one piece at a time car often. If you want some real info on it, hit me up.
If you hunt down the original video of that song that Johnny Cash had his wife appeared to as well it shows more of its interior and it shows more of what was actually done to put it together and he also said in an interview he visited his friend Elvis at Graceland a lot of times and every time Elvis would show off a brand new Cadillac so it gave him the idea for the psycho Billy Cadillac true story Chris from Memphis
I watch old television shows and constantly wonder what year and model cars are used.
Barnaby Jones, Mannix, Charlie’s Angels, Andy Griffin, Beverly Hillbillies, etc. etc.
If you enjoy this so much, and have the time, there are thousands of cars you could investigate year make and model. I subscribed, so I am interested in where you may take this!
Thankyou for your interest in these (at the time) ordinary cars, that may very well be Very Very rare cars today.

I'll do what I can, man! Thanks for the sub, means a lot😁😁😁
Back a few decades I made a hobby of keeping track of TV vehicles. Usually they had several of each model (you could track them by the license plates, which were legit plates at least for California cars), and they were all rentals. But sometimes they went for unique and that could be a problem.
Remember the series Hunter? the lady cop's red sports car was a one-of-a-kind prototype, and they wrecked it during a stunt... and it took 'em several months to find a replacement (that's why she rides with Hunter most of one season)... finally found a good-enough duplicate somewhere in the Far East. Source: someone on the production crew (I worked on the show a few times, and it was a friendly set).
Then the pickup truck used in Simon & Simon... originally there were three. In one episode it's seen making a near escape from being firebombed. Well, actually, it did get burnt up in that shot (if you look closely, you can see it's on fire). After that they were really careful, because it was going to be tough to exactly replace it.
Back in the 1970s, someone in Bozeman, Montana built a pretty good copy of the 1960s TV Batmobile. Really cool. No idea what became of that -- only saw it around a couple times.
It had a Fluid Coupler, the Predecessor to the Torque Converter, it didn't have Stator, which is what Multiplies the Torque. It would have been lucky to have a 0-60 time of less than 11 Sec. 1/4 mile would have been about 19 seconds
Love that song
Howdy -Trukkin
If you ever want to see the One Piece At A Time car and you're in the Nashville, TN area, stop on by Johnny Cash's Farm in Bon Aqua (and 50 minute drive from Nashville).
Would you consider doing a research presentation on the "fabled" GTO Judge?
I'll think about it! I've been wanting to bring this series back
I pronounce it BRUH HAM
Ok thanks I just couldnt figure it out😂😂😂
i saw the car in person,on gallatin pike,outside NASH.TN. when i was younger
Epic song...
I knew a guy who built an oldsmopackalac in the late 50s. Ran fine
I just heard this song from my playlist.
Most hatchbacks with just a driver and passenger door (think Honda crx) are referred to as three doored. I guess the hatch counts as a door due to hinges?
Chevrolet suburbans from the late 60s have 2 doors on the passenger side and 1 door on the drivers side
That front fender with the dual light is a 64 roughly. Not even close my guy.
Doesn't the Veloster have 3 doors, as well as the old Saturn SC2.. I do believe RX7 also had a 3 door (ok, the saturn & rx were suicide type doors, but I do believe they were only on one side.. but the Veloster has an actual 3rd door. Some of the early production extended cab trucks also had a 2nd suicide type door on one side only.
My apologies Love Johnny Cash for the last 70 years
Fire
Brougham rhymes with dome, except in Detroit, where it rhymes with throw lambs.
They need to put it in a museum
Agreed!
Thank you!
Darn on the thang!!!!!
Brougham = Bro - em in Australia.
Nice 👍
There is also Alan Jacksons song about the 49 Mercury. Zz tops eliminator. The beach boys car. If you want to just do one on awesome cars. There is a rare one that I had when I was a teen. I wish I still had it. I sold it to a guy that turned it into a durby car. It was a 1974 Buick Apollo. It had a 350 big block. That thing would glide down a windy road at 120 mph like it was a straight road. It had a granny shift in it. It was two tone. Metallic blue on top, and white down the side. I traded it for a 63 Ford Galaxy 500 box top 2 door with a 427 in it. The bad thing was. 1 it was a Ford.lol 2. It was the model right before they started using fiberglass. The 63 Galaxy was quick. It could have beat the 63 Impala. Which already were using fiberglass. So Ford then came out with the 63 1/2. Hard back top. With fiberglass substituted parts. I traded a rare care for a rare car, but it was a down grade. I couldn't hardly keep the Galaxy running. Plus it was to long. I was used to the short, sporty bad ass!!!! Very few people out ran that 74 Apollo. Very few people could take the same trail. Had a 88 5.0 Mercury T top. I used to drag race. That was the first car I supper up. Got it going, and drove a hour, and a half north to Dallas Texas to see what it had.lol wild teenage years.lol my dream car is a 71 Dodge charger. 2 tone black on top, and a gun barrel dark grayish blue. I guess. Interior dark gray with black overlays. Set of original kreggars, powder coated. No chrome, or bright colors at all
He actually built that car.
Most or all of his songs was based on his life history.
I am so late but Bro-Ham is the word
Johnny Cash is real at least get a soundtrack of him singing it
RUclips would give me hell due to copyright law
Did You notice The Fan Built "Psychobilly Cadillac" {The white 1 that Johnny is sitting in} The headlights are wrong according to the lyrics "We 2 on the left 1 on the right but when we pulled out the switch all 3 of 'm come on"
I didn't notice that! Good catch!
I’ve never heard of 3 door cars besides this one. There was the gm trucks from the early 2000’s were 3 doors I think if they were extended cabs.
1967 GM used 3 doors on the Suburban which later in the early 70's went to 4 doors. The 3 door option on the extend can trucks started on the mid to late 90's truck.
3:22, those fenders are not even close to matching... it is a 1963 fender and hood. Grille and bumper are not 1959 as you state, those are 1957 parts. And I didn't even pay much attention to the rest... but most of your pics trying to show us what year such and such part is are wrong or the year you state is wrong if you managed the right picture.
That car would never do 15 seconds in a quarter mile from a dead stop.
Broughham ,in the UK its pronounced Broom . Please dont ask why .
kool man, good job
Brougham is pronounced Broom. Named for a horse drawn carriage itself named after Lord Brougham who had carriages custom built to his design.
Nope. Rhymes with dome.
The band clutch had a song about a Ford Galaxy, and a Dodge swinger. I always thought it'd be cool to see a representation of the cars, and I think they are racing. It's in the song spacegrass. There is another song. I always have to put them side by side because Jesus is on the dashboard in both songs. That one is by ministry. A song called Jesus built my hotrod
What about the AMC gremlin?
How much did the title weigh?
Have you done a comment on the car used by the Beverly Hillbillie and the one told to be driven by Jack Benny and Rodchester?!?!?!
Not yet! I'm open to ideas though
Wait. So he really DID sneak the parts from the factory?
A fan built one as a gift from junkyard parts
I know this song by Johnny Cash and I’m 46 years old. I should know who Johnny Cash is. He died six months after his wife died June.
brogham you say it bro- ham
I HAD A 62 THE WATER PUMP WENT , CAR SHOP SAID IT WAS A 62 WATER PUMP , AFTYER SEARCHING , I FOUND OUT FROM DEALERS MANUAL . THE ENGINE WAS A CROSS OVER , FROM 62 TO 63 , GM NEVER KEPT THINGS EASY ALL WAYS CHANGED BITS
How about the story of the Hot Rod Lincoln
It probably doesn't have a top speed because it would fly apart.
Howdy
I've found four different pronunciations of a word that I pronounce Brome.
It’s not a duesy (doozy) it’s a Cadillac. I only say that as the term doozy came from the duesemberg cars of the early 1900’s
That axle is from a trail finder 2 RC car lol
Nice Just dont call me sue
Brougham= Bro am
Like broom but with a short o.
What’s the difference on the truth and statistics of the Caddy; Johnny Cash got the car , ONE PIECE AT A TIME and from DETROIT, end of story
Is 1980 I went there and looked at the car at the museum
It took them a week to build it...
There was Christine.
Its a 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 60 , 61, 62
You got everything wrong
