One Last Clue and Then We Tell

All right, here is the last clue to the location of HGTV Dream Home 2009. This one’s pretty tough. Don’t go crazy trying to read too much into that article or finding any subliminal clues in the image. You’ll have to do a little research to figure it out, but there is a connection to the next location.

If after pondering that clue nothing’s ringing a bell for you, don’t worry. You won’t have much longer to wait. We’re going to announce the location next Wednesday in a new video starring house planner Jack Thomasson. So be sure to check back April 16 for the premiere of our latest film!

  1. 1971 Cadillac Sedan de Ville

    This black Sedan de Ville was purchased new by Elvis on 7th July, 1971 for his Aunt Delta Mae Biggs who lived at Graceland. It was also used on many occasions by Elvis and his entourage. On 22nd September, 1974, the car was given by Elvis as a gift to the parents of his girlfriend, Linda Thompson. The car was kept by the Thompsons until 8th July, 1981, when it was purchased by Wolfgang, a German investor, and taken on a tour through Europe.

    On August 25th, 1992 the car was sold by auction in London for 50 thousand pounds to millionaire Jack Jackson of Tampa, Florida. However, Mr Jackson died in a plane crash shortly after. The car was then sent to Palm Springs, California for auction and a business woman from Las Vegas, Nevada purchased it and kept it in her garage.

  2. Why do people still want to guess some place other then California, when fcole told us weeks back that it is going to be built in California, he just didn’t tell us where in California, but we will know tomorrow and I can’t wait, but this has been so much fun with all of you guys.

  9. Dear HGTV: Today is the moment we have all been waiting for…I am so excited to see Jack standing at the area in the Armstrong Estates where the Dream Home will be built, & to see some footage of the quaint town of Sonoma, California!! I believe Herb Caen says it best: “I imagine heaven to be a lot like spring in Sonoma!!” The vineyards and trees are leafy, the birds are singing, and the grass is lush and green. Picnic under an azure sky with local wine, breads, produce, and cheeses. Paradise! This would be heaven for me!! Thank you HGTV for the opportunity to DREAM!!!! Marie Miller

  11. I watched all of the clues as you presented them and the biggest clue for me was the very starting of the final clue. Before he brought in the street sign or the different wineries. The first part that you showed many vinyards and that was in the Napa/sonoma are. I drove thought there many times in the past 6 years and yes it is a very serene area. there are many beautiful historical areas to see and reflect on. As far as wineries some of the best comes out of this area. Each of them pride them selves in being the best on the market. The thing is that you can take care your time and pick and choose which onex that are your favorites.
