For Morford, being a Holly fan requires more than just owning the car. The basement of his home in Marshalltown, Iowa, is filled with Holly memorabilia and other 1950s rock 'n' roll collectibles. It was near Clear Lake where Holly, Valens, Richardson and pilot Roger Peterson perished in a plane crash on Feb. 3, 1959. He also has attended, with the car, several of the concerts at the Crossroads of Texas Music Festival. The Diamonds at 8 p.m.
All concerts are on the outdoor stage.
