In early March, 1955 Elvis had bought his first Cadillac. It was a pink and white 1954 Cadillac . The car went up in smoke when a brake lining caught fire, on the road between Hope and Texarkana, Ark. in June, 1955. Note the roof racks in the pictures below, they were used to carry the Bands equipment.

Dear Joe: Thanks for the email and please forgive the delay in responding. No, I have no experience with Elvis' cars with him driving. I've been photographed sitting on top of his White Lincoln Continental in Memphis (at the 1034 Audubon house) (Hey, only I would do this! Ha!) I think you have a shot of it in a composite thing that you used when I was going to be a guest. That's about it along with the times of hanging out with the pink caddy on the road in the early Texas touring days

( I recall that the photo you are referring to was taken in April 56 when Elvis was appearing in Ft. Worth, Texas. Ah, those were the days! Sorry I can't say anymore about the cars.

I also posed with his motorcycle in 1956. I think you have that photo in the composite too.

All my best regards to you for doing such a wonderful job!

Still rocking the bop!

WHEN ELVIS HAD THIS CAR PAINTED ,HE WAS ASKED WHAT COLOR HE WANTED. HE TOOK SOME GRAPES AND SMASHED IT ON THE HOOD. THAT'S THE COLOR I WANT

Elvis Presley’s 1960 Coupe DeVille DFO 301 is a rarity, as it is being offered, complete with items of Presley memorabilia, in H&H’s upcoming sale at Buxton, Derbyshire on September 12/13.

The ‘King’s Caddy’ is believed to have covered just 76,099 miles from new. A stunning Pillarless Coupe from both Cadillac’s and Elvis’s golden era, the Coupe DeVille carries an estimate of $23000-$34000 and is not to be missed.

The 1960 Cadillac Deville is powered by a 6.4litre OHV V8 engine allied to Hydra-Matic transmission, and comparing to other cars of the moment it is surprisingly quick: 0-60mph in 10.3 seconds and top speeds of 110mph. The car has an output of 325bhp and 430lbft of torque on tap. Priced at $5252, the 1960 Cadillac Coupe DeVille boasted power windows and a ’Two Way’ power front seat as standard. Riding on a 130-inch wheelbase, it notched up some 21,585 sales.

The ’King’s’ Caddy is painted in white with a salmon pink roof and pink / white upholstery, and it is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its engine, automatic gearbox, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres.

Also featured in the sale is a 1973 V12 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 Coupe that once belonged to TV soap star Nick Berry, of EastEnders and then Heartbeat fame.

ELVIS 1960 MARK V LIMOUSINE.

THIS AUTOMOBILE WAS SPECIALLY ORDERED BY ELVIS IN THE SUMMER OF 1959 WHILE IN THE ARMY AND STATIONED IN GERMANY. THE LINCOLN DIVISION OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY SENT ONE OF THE VERY FIRST 1960 LINCOLNS, SERIAL #32, TO HESS AND EISENHARDT TO BE CUSTOMIZED FOR ELVIS.IT INCLUDED...REAR POWER PRIVACY GLASS, AND TWO SEPERATE UNITS FOR FRONT AND REAR AIR-CONDITIONING.

was a white BMW 507 roadster in which PFC Elvis Presley tooled about Germany in the late 1950s, commuting between nightspots and his rented house in Bad Anaheim.

In 1963, Elvis gave the vehicle to Ursula Andress during the filming of the movie Fun in Acapulco. She kept the car for over 20 years at her home in Beverly Hills, California. It was sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 1997 for $350,000.

Originally owned by Elvis Presley costing $14,409 in 1976, this was Elvis Presley's last "Vacation Car," and it was kept in Denver, Colorado. It was modified for Elvis with added grille fog lamps, gold covered wheel covers, and his trademark initials "TCB" (Taking Care of Business) on the doors, including a telephone in the front and portable TV in the back. After Elvis's death, the car was sold and taken on a nationwide tour. In April 1988 it became part of the Imperial Palace car collection in Las Vegas. Odometer reading is 11,720 actual miles with matching numbers. This rare Elvis car has the following documentation/items, which will remain with the vehicle: Copy of notarized affidavit, dated January 18, 1980, from the policeman who served as Elvis Presley"s bodyguards during his Colorado vacations. This document states that Elvis Presley bought this Eldorado on January 14, 1976. A copy of the check Elvis personally wrote to the dealership goes with the car. Copy of letter from R.L. Antonio, General Manager, for Jack Kent Cadillac, dated September 27, 1977, stating that Elvis A. Presley purchased the car. Copy of appraisal dated July 10, 2002, that confirms the legitimacy of the vehicle and it's estimated market value. The current owner completed necessary maintenance to the vehicle without disturbing the original condition of this rare automobile. New tires were placed on the car. However, the original tires will remain with the vehicle.

I was not sure about this car so i emailed my friend Dick Grob. I asked him if Elvis had a Pantera

Yes he did. It was made under the Ford name and if I remember correctly it
was yellow in color. Very uncomfortable to ride in and was always in the
shop for one thing or another.

I believe that is correct. The car was a pile of metal shit. He really
hated that car. It would not start and was always having some sort of
trouble.

THIS JEEP WAS USED AT THE GRACELAND AND THE CIRCLE G FOR SECURITY , IT WAS REDONE TO LOOK LIKE THE BLUE HAWAII JEEP. BUT IT IS NOT, EVEN AT GRACELAND THEY HAVE A PHOTO OF ELVIS WITH THE BLUE HAWAII JEEP NEXT TO THIS ONE, WHICH CAUSES CONFUSION AMONG THOSE WHO SEE IT. MANY YEARS AGO I WAS ABLE TO SIT IN THIS JEEP, AND I PROMISE YOU IT LOOKED NOTHING LIKE THIS

THIS IS A PICTURE OF ELVIS'S LAST LIMO. HE GIFTED IT TO HIS FRIEND JD SUMNER. ITS NOW IN A MUSEUM IN PIGEON FORGE.
