The 53 Cadillac convertible is for sale in auto-roundup.com, maybe a member will purchase. A friend gave me the hard copy. Only $35k. If I had the fundage I might be tempted to have a look. Shes located in a museum in Hariman, Tn, 865-898-4200. The ad claims it was Hanks last ride. Didn't say he owned it, just rode in it? Anybody know of this car? Appears to be a good price, but without looking who knows. 8)

I think Hank Williams last ride was a 52 Cadillac in powder blue and is in the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, Alabama!!
He was found dead in the back seat New years day 1953!
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/24863 here's a little story on Hank's Caddy!!
Great article Buster.
Surely the seller must be mistaken. Maybe they meant it was Hanks last ride in Tennessee, and was to a museum there. Hehe. I would take a look even if I knew it wasn't Hanks last Ride.
No doubt!! I would love to have a 53 convertible whether Hank had even been in the same state with it!!! But I bet it would take a lot more that 35 grand to take that powder blue 52 home with you!!!
That was the advertised price asking 35,000. The small black and white pic looked ok.
Maybe a member will snatch her up and post up pics of me and him riding. Haha
I'm sure his "Last Ride" looked more like this.

I think the car in question is the one used in the movie Last Ride.

It belongs to Rex Wall the owner of the museum. Harry
David's 100% correct.
Thanks for the info Harry. That should clear up the misunderstanding?
Still possibly a great price.
Guess you could say Hank went out twice in a Cadillac!!
Good music and taste in cars.
