"Was coal used a lot in Alabama/Georgia back then?"
Yeah, that was in Alabama. He would get a load of coal and then sell it to those who needed it. Worked years in the coal mines (as did most of my family) before buying the trucks and starting to deliver. Would also buy old houses, tear them down, and sell the lumber. I helped with that sometime, or helped as much as a 6 or 7 year old could.
My dad also was a coal miner after he got out of the Navy. It was a hard life.
Cherry Caddy there. Old Car City has the last car purchased by Elvis which I think is a Caddy as well. I don't think he ever took delivery of it. They keep that one inside, not out with all the junk cars. I've probably got a photo of it somewhere. And yeah, it's not a car I would want. Now if it was a '57 Chevy or some such, I would take that.
