[@lindagerdner4311]

I admire your passion and dedication to the memory of Elvis.

[@glenngarofano4793]

Love your shows

[@BobE316]

Thanks Billy, Ashley and Trey...without you guys, we wouldn't know about this Elvis history, or be able to see it on video, thanks for all your time and effort to make these videos, much appreciated

[@conrad6302]

End of an era but at least you unlocked the nostalgic Elvis history that building has and told its story to the Elvis fans before its demolition. Thank you sir!

[@raymonditi4596]

I m from new Zealand and on my bucket list is a week or 2 stay in Memphis.i love the nostalgia sg has with elvis history .i feel the same way even though im 10000 miles away...cheers bro and thankyou very much spa guy

[@lordcron]

I love how you're as much a fan as I am of the Jackson's. It's a beautiful thing to see someone else have this kind of passion for the magic that was created years ago by great and wonderful stars!

[@SpaGuy]

The Jackson's were amazing!! I love music period and they are Iconic..

[@Shelby-eo3dz]

Please don’t ever stop making videos! I watch you everyday! Love these! ❤️

[@fredricjulien8738]

Hi Billy. I remember in a previous video you posted some time ago of this picture with Elvis at Madison Cadillac and viewers were wondering if that was really Elvis. When you met Linda Thompson you showed her the picture and she confirmed that it was indeed him as well as her walking behind him. Sad to see another piece of Memphis and Elvis history gone.

[@rachaelleight4612]

So sad how they just keep tearing everything down!! It's amazing how you seem to get to these places in the nick of time, and people before they pass. Thanks for preserving Elvis history.

[@tupelomiss8315]

[@timchen5299]

We can just imagine Elvis being here and we are all walking in his footsteps following this. Incredible work Spa Guy Thank you.

[@ezirpaiva515]

It should be preserved that BLOCK. Like ARCHITECTS kept in SP : THE HOUSE OF THE PIONEERS BANDEIRANTES.

[@ezirpaiva515]

Perfect 👌👍😊

[@johnmcmanus1914]

Thank you so much for posting this and honoring the building and the years of work there. My grandfather, Joseph Canepari, was the owner of Southern Motors Cadillac. We’re still so proud of all the work he did and how he carried his work with pride and dignity. Elvis was a good and generous man. Again, thank you for sharing this.

[@SpaGuy]

[@hubbell627]

My son and I went there in November because of your channel, and we got some great pics inside. I'm glad we saw it before its demolition.

[@elvispreston3685]

Hi my friend, I don't know if you know this or not, Elvis' favorie salesman at Madison Cadillac name was Howard Massy, through you might like to know that, you're doing a fantastic job on these video's, love every one of them always Aron..

[@sensetti]

Another slice of history crumbles! Thank for your hard work, it’s appreciated immensely!

[@deehickman6417]

Thanks to your earlier video, Rod & I recognized Madison Cadillac when we were on a tour with Brandon Cunning. I was so excited, Brandon probably thought he was with a crazy lady. :) Your videos made our trip wonderful and I'm so glad this place & it's story will be forever recorded. I so wish you had been able to get the wall. Thank you Spa Guy, Ashley & Trey! Loved your fence walk through!

[@silvanacovos8115]

Obrigada por nos levar pelos caminhos de Elvis , seu trabalho é apaixonante Spa Guy !!!! Infelizmente o progresso vai destruindo histórias e memórias. Grande abraço !

[@vadare]

It is sad to loose all these places where Elvis walked. I am so glad you are getting these places documented. Thank you Spa Guy, Ashley and Trey for all you do. You guys are amazing. ❤

[@petehanuszak4318]

Well. You Did it Again SpaGuy. Thank you So Much For Saving Elvis History. People Just Don’t Care. Only REAL ELVIS FANS LIKE YOU. There is No 1 Else. Thank you From the Bottom of my Heart. We the True Elvis Fans.

[@germanfreighttrain3911]

I'm glad you made a video on this

[@robw3027]

SG this was sad but great you got it on film. Struck me as you three are the three Amigos of Elvis preservation- hats off to ya! SG fuuny- I was thinking of the that Fire Alarm bell same moment you mentioned it. Wish I had been there to grab a brick from that wall. Big picture statement- there is something deeply wrong with the way buildings are wholesale being demolished instead of re purposed. Almost seems to reveal a desire to physically eliminate the past.

[@davidrixson3171]

The changing face of Memphis and another piece of history gone forever.

[@charlottegordon6400]

Love 💖🌹you guys Ashley, tray, spa guy .great videos. Thank you 👍💝

[@crystalmcmahon302]

I wish You could have gotten the bell and some of the bricks but glad you have it on video really enjoy them.

[@glenngarofano4793]

Might of been doing a concert that day at the Mid South Coliseum?

[@hirdy6]

Dead set shame about you missing out on getting the wall, and sad ending however being able to retrace Elvis' steps is so cool! Thanks for sharing your experiences and brilliant detective work, very much appreciated.

[@nowthatsfunny1]

It's really cool you took the time to do this. So much history is lost every single day and absolutely nobody does anything about it. I know time will change everything but there really was no reason for them to take that wall after you asked for it. Once they knew there was money possibility to it...it was game over. Thanks for sharing your time with us.

[@DELL.ACNT.]

This guy. This channel. I'm bindge watching these. you go after just the kind stuff i wanna see thanks!

[@WesleyWes304]

A Piece Of Elvis History Gone Love your Videos Billy

[@danielh1830]

I am so grateful you did the initial video of this, my trip with my son to Memphis included a stop at this site, and without you, I would have driven right past it without even knowing. You are not only making entertaining and interesting videos for us now, you are saving a record for future generations who will never see the real Memphis. Thank you for all of your hard work and time, its not gone unnoticed.

[@rodrigolopes7899]

Went there in 2016. It was so cool to walk the same place Elvis walked... sad to see its gone now.

[@bryanbond3886]

Do you know how many Cadillacs elvis purchased from there

[@dennis2527]

Enjoy every video. Keep them coming and always remember to "Tighten Up Every Chance You Get" !!

[@crazyelvis3577]

Sad thing I passed by there last time I was in Memphis and remember seeing that building but not knowing at the time what it was. It saddens me that I was that close and never stopped.

[@axelaxelle2841]

There is an interesting story there. Do you know the year and date of the picture?

[@SpaGuy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rprZqnd8fpWZp8k This is the original video about this photo turns out I was wrong in my speculation about what they were doing.. He was simply buying people Cadillacs that day and wanted to be Elvis so he wore a jumpsuit.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmjEYYCsdr6XaM0 In this video I ask Linda about it..

[@nicholasgreen5636]

Hey Spa Guy Big fan! Great Elvis videos.

[@OverandOutChief1]

I got to go back in September 2018 thanks to your video. I took pictures and have video. Shame things have to go.

[@justinl5723]

Great video! I live just north of memphis in blytheville Arkansas and always love making that hr drive to memphis so much cool stuff there I just hate alot of it's being tore down. Love the videos u make. Seems like once someone finally had the abilities to show the world this stuff now it's all going away so people cant visit these things. Glad you do these video thanks!

[@movingloz]

What a team. Ashley Dew, Trey and Spa Guy. Thank You 🙏 so very much for what y’all do. Vids like this are awesome to have.

[@SpaGuy]

Thank You Sadly Ashley departed the team almost 2 years ago..

[@cut1986]

Billy. Thank you for this footage. I was impressed the first go around and I am grateful that you were able to get this prior to demolition. I live in Iowa and have been to Memphis 15 times since I was 14. First time was 1981. I am a little bummed that I have driven by this site numerous times without knowing that I was missing history. Thanks for getting me this close.

[@annaelvis3138]

Thank yuo Spa guy yuo are great.

[@tugboat25]

I had no idea that Elvis walked around in his jumpsuits off stage. I'm a huge Elvis fan but I do find that kind of odd. Not judging! Just bewildered.

[@brycekirk5529]

It's a shame there tearing these historical buildings, just to put apartment complexes in its place. I'm glad that you captured this before it got torn down. Once again another amazing video my friend.

[@irongoatrocky2343]

Mean green talks!

[@gregsuddeeth568]

Spa this might be a crazy question but the last car Elvis ever drove does that car still run I was told all the oil was drained from that car and the rest of his cars

[@SpaGuy]

Greg I have been told all of the vehicles are dry and none of them are set to run..

[@jansorensen]

Hi Greg , I` heard that all the cars in Elvis car museum is restored and can be run, but because of safety in the museum they been drained for gas . The last time ELVIS Stutz Blackhack was running was in 2015. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6epdoihfcSLpK8

I love you guys. Thanks Billy this is awesome. 👍👍

[@_CoolHandLuke_]

Its sad to see places like this knocked down just to cram more people in an area that doesn't need the crowding. Memphis needs to be spruced up but not by destroying everything Elvis.

[@suewaltho4946]

You Rock, Spa Guy for keeping Elvis Presley memory alive. The first block you turned over, 7.43 had one of your marks on it so go back

[@SpaGuy]

I know where the blocks went to.. A guy in Memphis got the blocks luckily..

[@redogsummers]

Great documenting Spa Guy and I feel sorry you didn't get the funky wall. By chance I actually re watched your original video on the subject only a few hours ago so am fascinated to see this update. Regards Mike, UK

[@brad1916]

What year did it cease being Madison Cadillac and become vacant? Do you know, Billy?

[@SpaGuy]

I don't know but I would say more than 10 years maybe more than 20...

[@brad1916]

Spa Guy oh wow. So it was vacant for a good while.. Still sad to see it go.

[@music2soothmysoul]

Haven't been to Memphis yet, so bummed to see all these places disappear. Same way in California. Out with old and in with the new. I'm not a fan, I like the nostalgic feeling of the older buildings. Super video, I watched on my TV, nice job. I was thinking you should have grabbed the bell.

[@twocanplayatthat]

Sad that they took it down and a shame that you didn't get all the block you wanted. I guess one is better than none though! :) Thanks for filming. Hey, at least you have it on video and have captured it for all to see forever. Nice job!

[@josephmarshall6599]

Mr. Spa Guy, May I ask why your handle is Spa Guy and why the motto "tighten up?" A fan of the song?

[@SpaGuy]

I own a Hot Tub Company called the Spa Guy.. My father always told us to "Tighten Up" as kids and to me it means to Always be the Best You that You Can be..

[@josephmarshall6599]

@@SpaGuy Oh okay, cool! I enjoy your channel! Tighten Up!

[@lia1063]

That was a Terrazzo floor in the showroom. You dont see that anymore. I liked the wave brick wall in there as well.

[@elvisfan6475]

Hey spa guy just had to ask if anyone has a photo of Elvis on the showroom floor ? That photo of Carl was so cool. Maybe someone,has a photo packed away.

[@magikexpert]

You'd think somebody would have to have one or many photos? Especially the owner(s) of that dealership? You'd think that would be a great keepsake or promotional type thing seeings how many Cadillacs Elvis purchased there or how often he was there? And the money alone that he spent there. Just my opinion though.

[@rev.jennyosorio7003]

Unfurtunately developers are not interested in history. Money talks to them. Nothing else. Sad.... very sad.

[@250rapid]

Means nothing to them. They're not interested and they don't care so, out with the old, in with the new. "Money Talks, Elvis Walks!"....Welcome to 2020!

[@jansorensen]

Thanks, for your videos about Madison Cadillac in Memphis , ye it look like a end of an era. Hope somebody took the entire wall in one piece and give it to a museum in Memphis. In the end I want to thank Ashley Drew and Trey Miller for filming with the Spa guy ⚡️

[@jeanjones1846]

I just watched on youtube Elvis' Hawaii Concert... for maybe the 2,000 times. Will always rem Elvis... Hope to see him in Heaven someday...

Such a shame tou couldn't have even got a block yaself.... history is being taken from under our eyes. Keep up the hard work SpaGuy 👍

[@dilligafTV1]

I would have tried to get one of the gates as well. Looks like those were the same gates that were in the photos with Elvis.

[@claudiocesar3041]

Someone saw the video of Elvis' first bike, and took the credit ... Someone saw the video of Elvis crossing that fence, and took the wall ... I think I have suspicious minds ...;) as always thanks for sharing

[@HerbWalker]

I left Ray Barracks Germany in March of 83 and came through Memphis going to El Paso Tx. Man I didnt even recognize Memphis anymore. It has all changed so much. The corner where Circle G Ranch was a simple 4 way STOP sign before..... Graceland didnt have buildings all around it then. WW! Thanks :)

[@davidwatson1172]

Great video Billy!!

[@8610sarge]

This is exactly why your work is so important, only an elvis fan would understand, but I'm really gutted that you didn't get the wall, your friend did great getting you a piece of it, but the whole thing would have been great to save and placed on display somewhere, another good video Billy.

[@d.b.9981]

So Sad!!Thaks for you Work!

[@pushnook]

Happy to see what you do to keep Elvis history Spa Guy... Sentimental !!!

[@TENNESSEETORNADO]

glad ya'll got to tour it...

[@scottyr9617]

Billy - you should have grabbed a few of the blocks from the other wall. Even though they were not the exact ones in the photo, they still lived in that same historic space. And to make it all come full circle, your original Madison Cadillac video was the first of yours I saw that got me hooked on your channel. I appreciate all you do in the trenches my friend!

[@mysteryjesus]

Goes to show how greedy humans can be in general...you called the company and told them about the fence. They didn't even save you a piece. Where money is concerned, with the exception of Elvis, nothing is sacred. It's sad. Anyway, I love your videos, they are allowing anyone who's interested the chance to see what we cannot go and see in person due to distance and time and money. I really appreciate it. Now, if you can tell me the model number and brands of some of Elvis' audio equipment like his record players and turntables and stereos, I would like to see that video! There's a picture of some of his stuff around but I can't find them all. I told one guy named Theirry about it and he took my info and disappeared and never got back to me.

[@robertturak7547]

Replaced by a 5 story apartment building. How exciting. At least it was recorded before it was torn down, that's a good thing.

Awwww , that is sad . Spa Guy if I knew in time you wanted that wall .... I would have stood in front of it and I would have made sure that you got that wall !! You definitely deserved it !! I'm glad your friend saved you at least one of the blocks . You know , there's no telling how many times Elvis paid for that building just from buying from that dealership ? Oh well... I'm glad you , Ashley Drew , and Trey Miller got to document it before it was torn down . Thank you for sharing this with us Spa Guy !! P.S . If I was rich I'd buy you a Cadillac . You definitely deserved one of those too . God bless you !!

[@jasonking8812]

Just a curious question why did elvis go to the Cadillac dealer dressed in a jumpsuit I thought he only wore them on stage

[@SpaGuy]

Because Elvis was going too give away Cadillacs that day and he said people expected Elvis to come and he put his suit on as a joke..

[@jasonking8812]

@@SpaGuy oh right elvis had a amazing sense of humour 🤣🤣

[@brcisna]

Great history documentation SG. Think about it, You are most likely the only one that even took the time to capture this spot of known Elvis history walking through the gate with entourage in tow. It is gone forever now. Also as an aside I went to work at a Cadillac dealer washing cars the day i got my drivers license. It is strange how much this building looked on the inside of building i worked in ( on a much smaller scale) with the multilevel ramps and hole shabang. These old buildings are gorgeous inside with the built-in sale cubicles ,heavy plated glass,,,frosted glass, diamond tiling etc,,and such. Sorry to hear you didn't get the historical blocks you wanting to get. Have found myself,,,when calling businesses about various things you never even get a call back nowadays, It just seems like everyone including the telephone switch person just plays dumb to your phone calls any more, Pretty frustrating at times and seems to get worse with each year that goes by. Sorry for long comment but sure appreciate all the documentation your are getting on Elvis history. Keep after it. Thanks again.

The smaller plane at Graceland next to the Lisa Marie is the engine still in there or was it taken out as well .

Its great that y'all captured all this on film. Its just an old building and a place Elvis bought cars and was photographed wearing his black phoenix jumpsuit. But its a piece of the puzzle and it means so much to us. Just imagine if you guys were around to do this during the Washington or Lincoln days. All of your vlogs will be reference material for years to come. Thanks Billy,Ashley and Trey👍🏻😎
