Alan Jackson Car Collection
Katrina and I recently had a once in a lifetime opportunity to tour the garage and car collection of one of our favorite recoding artists, Alan Jackson. We have been to his concerts and own many of his CDs but never have we been more excited than to visit his family’s gorgeous property and his terrific car collection.
In addition to the photos below make sure you listen to the audios of some of the cars’ engines.
We want to thank the Alan Jackson family for letting us infringe on their personal space and also want to give a big thank you to Gary Haneberg and the entire Battlefield Antique Auto Club Association (AACA) of Franklin, TN who made this wonderful event possible.
We all gathered for an impromptu car show in a school parking lot so we could caravan to the Alan Jackson estate. Here Katrina looks over a 1962 Corvette which greatly resembles my first Corvette ever.
We drove our ZO6 to the event, one of the few times it gets to go out these days.
The approach to the Alan Jackson estate is an event in its self.
The approach to their home will take your breath away.
Wow!
Just behind the home is a complex of buildings which includes the garage for Alan’s cars.
We parked near the Jackson lake and walked up the hill to the garage.
I have seen few homes that rival parks for there space and beauty but the Alan Jackson estate certainly does.
Many of the cars that went on the event rivaled the best in show at a lot of car shows.
As we approached the garage you could feel the excitement in the air.
The first thing you see when you enter the garage is Alan’s personal desk and work area when he is home.
Some of the more common vehicles. However, the
Katrina meets Alan Jackson! Well, almost. Alan is actually a cardboard cutout sitting on the real Alan’s Harley.
By the way, Katrina is also real.
Alan must be a fan of Mayberry. He has a Mayberry High School letterman’s jacket and many autographed photos from the stars.
Katrina visits the NEON RAINBOW! What is she pointing at? The NEON POT OF GOLD!
Now for some cars.
The collection is not large but is high in quality. This is a 44o RT Challenger Convertible.
The collection is eclectic and has much more than just cars. I think Alan likes to fish.

Window looking out of the garage.
Says it all.
Stutz. This car finished 1st or 2nd at the 1928 24 of LeMans but is not Alan’s car. It belongs to a friend.
Listen to the audio below very carefully and you can hear when the lever is pulled to open and close the exhaust cutout, it gets much louder.

Alan must also play some pool.

All too soon it was time to leave. It is a great collection and a beautiful environment.
For those of us on the outside looking in it is a great reminder that no matter how much you have there is always some one with more. It should also remind us to be thankful for what we have because there are many not so well blessed.
Thank you for showing this great car collection belonging to Alan Jackson. Mr. Jackson is one of my favorite country singers. He will go down in history as one of the best in music history.
I just love the cars. Very nice job of presenting them. Thanks again….Mustang Mike of Mike’s Show-N-Shine.
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE WITH MY WIFE AND I —–LIFE LONG FANS——KEEP IT COMING —-PISTOL AND RED
Alan,
I brought up your website to see if you owned as S/C Rambler. Didn’t see it! If not you should have one.
thanks allan sweet cars iknow how hard it is to take care of these babys
Thanks Alan, for sharing your cars with us – love them and your music.
I hope you have time to enjoy your cars as much as I can enjoy your music.
We lived in Georgia when Alan came on the scene. We are true fans of Alan, county music, and car people as well. We are strong believers of faith and family values like those Alan was raised with.
Saw the A & E interview yesterday and when the song of “God Bless the Working Man” was performed, my first thought was of the miners and families of West Virginia who were lost and lost loved ones. And I thought, would’nt it be great if someone in country music would put on a concert to raise money for those families.
Faith, Hope and The Greatest is Love.
Alan, where is the 49 Mercury?
Thank you so much. I might not ever have seen Alan’s place if not for you. That was very cool. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

I purchased a green 2003 Hummer H2 in Missouri a few years ago with one (1) roof rack. I ran a title search on it and found where you were the second owner. Pretty neat I thought.

Ok to make a long story short I have a 1949 two door mercury not choped change from 6 volt to 12 volt it has spotlight tire skirts has new side pipes inside in good condition several new parts in trunk i need to sale it so me and my son have the money to move on i grew up in okla, i was around classice cars i love all classice cars.I have tried to sale it but i have had men who think i fall off a cabbage truck this car needs someone who cares about class and it does have it. when i tould my husband he should buy it i was hoping he would want to restore it and spend some time with our boys no he had other ideals i tried everything to keep our family together. I love my boys but my husband went to central america every mounth for 10 to 12 days i spent my time trying to keep my boys from getting in trouble and be there for them alot of time the needed their day. Alan do you know how i could sale this car to that wont try to take me on it because they think i don’t know about being crazy about a mercury i had a offer u would not believe what he offer i just want a fair price because u would just have to see it to believe it is in good condition does need a paint job.I know you like cars thought u might know someone who is looking for a 1949 Mercury.

Hi Alan
Found this site whilst sitting at Nashville Airport waiting to catch a flight after travelling from Adelaide Australia just to see Alan Jackson in concert 5/19/17. Cost me heaps with airfares ect but concert was worth it! Love the car collection! We have a 1970 Grabber Blue Mach 1 Mustang, fully restored to original back in Australia. Nothing better than cruising in it listening to your music.
Time to come back down under mate !
Regards Wayne and Cathy

I restore cars as a hobby and soon-to-be full time when I retire. What an honor and thrill it would be to build him a car or truck!
