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.
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.
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!
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.
Shelby GT 500 KR Convertible!
Window looking out of the garage.
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.
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 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.
Thanks for sharing Great tour, but Why didn’t anyone mention or take better pictures of that gorgeous white 1966 Cadillac convertible?
Ya got to drive those cars! Sitting kills a car and the seals all get hard and start leaking. I’m your man! Nobody babies a car like I do. (I have old Trans Ams by the way) 73, 75 and 81, my babies. My 73 is slowly going back together. I mean slowly……..it’s been on jackstands in my garage for 10 years. lol Hey, i work full time! Love your collection, you’ve got good taste. Hope to see it one day!
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.

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.

WOW, Awesome cars and an aweome guy. LOVE the collectio. Have been an AJ fan for many many years. Finally got to see him live in Sydney Australi in 2011. It was a 4,845 mile round trip from the Great Southern of Western Australia to Sydney NSW and worth every inch. Thank-you for making these pictures available.
Saw you at Purdue University. You were the warm-up act for Randy Travis. My wife and I became instant fans.
One of my best friends was Tom Busick; brother of one of your female employees.
