As described in the Cash story song hit, written by Wayne Kemp which reached #1 on the Billlboard Country Singles Chart
in 1976, the car is a one-of-a-kind collection of authentic Cadillac
parts assembled–as the song relates– over a 25 year “steal” from the
GM assembly line in Detroit. Though no two parts match on the finished
model–best described as a kissing cousin to a Sedan DeVille and Coupe
Deville– the “OPAAT” car is a “ride” that any country music fan would
love.
