Andrew Gonzalez says he's been listening to Selena since he was a teenager.

"Every time I go out – I go out on a cruise – I always play Selena, that's all I play, nothing but Selena songs," said Gonzalez, art on his car pays homage to the Tejano star. "I'm going to add some more murals on the side – some more Selena murals – I want people when they look at it, I want them to see her life's story from when she was young to when she was an adult."

214Selena is free and open to all ages.
