Elvis Cadillac sold

 

One of Elvis’ Cadillacs, a custom made Cadillac Devile Sedan – tuned to a station wagon – has just been sold on Ebay. There were only 2 of these cars made, one for Elvis and one for Dean Martin. Elvis received the keys in 1972 and used it in Palm Springs and Las Vegas. It was a gift for Colonel Parker, but Elvis used the car more than Parker did, so he did not want to keep the car anymore. The car stayed in Vegas until 1976 before it moved to Graceland where it stayed until 1981 to end up in a museum. The ‘buy it now’ price was $59.995, but the seller ended the auction because the car was sold outside of Ebay.

Elvis Presley's Famous Pink Cadillac - 1955 Fleetwood Series 60

 

On July 7, 1955 Elvis purchased his second Pink Cadillac, a new 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 in blue with black roof, to replace the Cadillac that was burned. He had the car repainted by a neighbor who designed a pink color for Elvis and named the color 'Elvis Rose'. This is the one that he gave to his mother, probably the most famous car in the world. Gladys would always proudly point to it as 'her' car.

Elvis' Gold Cadillac Tour of Australia 1968

 

Australian Elvis Presley Fan Clubs were advised in mid 1967 that Elvis' Gold Cadillac would be coming to Australia. The General Manager of the record division for RCA Australia, Mr Walsh, finalised all the arrangements with Elvis and Colonel Tom Parker, and so the Cadillac departed the States on the 8th of December 1967, arriving in Australia in early January 1968.
