Since announcing he planned to buy Nesbit, Mississippi’s Jerry Lee Lewis Ranch and turn it into a museum, Todd Herendeen’s been searching for artifacts from the rock ’n‘ roll legend’s life.
Earlier this year, that led him to Beale Street and Jerry Lee Lewis’ Cafe & Honky Tonk where the musician’s 1983 Cadillac Eldorado had been parked since 2013.
“It’s just been sitting next to the building on Beale Street for a few years,” Herendeen said. “Actually, I saw it down there a few years ago, probably 2015 or so, and then it was gone.”
