The answers came in the form of music: Collins turned on the radio after sitting in the car, and bluegrass music came blaring out of it. Later, when he returned to pick up his new purchase, he found that the 8-track player had no tape in it, and the radio did not work. The Lord had spoken.
Collins currently lives and houses “The Billmobile” in Nicholasville, Kentucky, having retired from the dental industry since 2014, but brings the car to shows and venues to share the history and stories with fellow bluegrass fans.
“I have shown it a few times including Concours at Keeneland racetrack in Lexington Kentucky.”
Collins hopes to play some bluegrass music at a venue in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee next year, and the car is coming with him.
