Johnny Cash’s “One Piece at a Time” car

Johnny Cash is at the wheel in this picture from 1976. In one of our all time favorite “One Piece at a Time” by The Man in Black, a.k.a Johnny Cash, a guy working on a GM assembly line uses his big lunch box to take home a part of the car he’s working on, every day.

digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/05/04/kitt-could-be-a-volvo/'; What if KITT was a Volvo? And not a new one, mind you: the finest exemple of Swedish crafstmanship, a.k.a the 240 station wagon? YouTube’s user Hakanson and his friends wanted to see by themselves and put together a nicely done video with a tricked out (read “an extra cashier, some duct tape and a few stickers”) 240, shot in a deserted place outside Stockholm.
