The bond between a man and his car is one that can't be broken. Even by death.

That's why Lonnie Holloway's final resting place is his 1973 Pontiac Catalina.

The car was lowered into his grave in western South Carolina, with Lonnie and his guns inside.

The Catalina was Holloway's retirement gift to himself, and he wasn't leaving this world without it.

He died at the age of 91.
