When Lonnie Holloway died at age 90 in 2009, his unusual burial instructions were carried out: he was placed in the driver's seat of his green 1973 Pontiac Catalina and the entire car was buried with him. His gun collection was reportedly placed on the passenger seat because he did not want the firearms to fall into the wrong hands. The car itself is underground, so this is a cemetery-history stop rather than a visible-car attraction.
