Country music icon Johnny Cash has become the inspiration for a new vehicle exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.

The late singer has been honored with The Man in Black car, which was unveiled on Thursday at the country mecca.

The car features Cash's likeness emblazoned on the hood, next to an image of tragic NASCAR racing driver Dale Earnhardt.

The new exhibit was created to emphasize country music's close connection with NASCAR.

A die-cast miniature of the vehicle will be marketed by Motorsports Authentics through its Action Racing Collectibles brand, according to CMT.com.

Earnhardt's daughter Taylor and Cash's brother Tommy attended Thursday's ceremony.
