Let me explain the story on this car, First off, In 1963, Elvis bought 12 Pink Cadillacs for family and friends, of the cars made, most were different models, this car was made specifically for Elvis, hence the bar and wrap around seat, and the headliner. Elvis did own this car with many others, however, Elvis gave this car as a gift to someone, and the car left with a new owner. This was not a show car, it was made for Elvis to drive. But Elvis had a huge heart, and just gave it away. You might ask how I know all this...... My uncle helped build these Pink Cadillacs

Im just going to tell my story as it was told to me. I grew of the son of an aviation family. My dad worked at the Atlanta Airport. He said elvis flew in and out all the time. But this one time was special. He and several others drove straight up to his waiting jet in a pink caddy limo. He jumps out. Tosses the keys to a man from the ground crew and told him to keep it. Weather this is the same car. I have no clue. But it reminded me of that story my dad told me as a little boy. He passed away a year ago this past may 18th . But he told me the story several times in my life.

My husband was a parking attendant in a restaurant called The Luau in the 400 block of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills back in the late 60s, he knew Elvis well. One Sunday Elvis showed up for lunch in a white limo followed by 7 brand new Mercedes Benz, one driver in each Mercedes, when they came out Elvis told the drivers: hey guys you can keep the cars just don't tell Mercedes I gave them to you. Mercedes gave Elvis those cars and Elvis took the drivers to lunch as a thank you for driving the cars to where ever Elvis want, but he didn't want them so he gave them away to the seven drivers. Lucky guys. My husband work in the Luau for 6 years 17 hours a day and knew every movie star and famous people you can think of and they knew him well too.

Wasn't it the time Elvis starred in Blue Hawaii? They had 7 Mercedes and 7 drivers that took Elvis on and off set. When the movie was done Mercedes acctually wanted them back, but Elvis told the drivers to keep them instead. Elvis bought these cars after everything was done. Mercedes was in the beginning very mad at Elvis for doing so. 😃

Star War mobvies started in 1977 when Elvis died, but it wasnt until 1980, when the Star Wars collecibles started & movie colllectable cars started. I think it would be easy at the courthouse to prove this car as Elvis's. No One would let this car get this rundown, because this car is a fake.

Looks like they used a vent window on these 63 limos much like the one first seen on the 1959 models, where the top was wider than the bottom. Most 63s had a conventional vent with all straight lines. The 61s turned the curved section around to form a wider bottom. Became aware of all these early 60s GM cars as my dad had a 61 Olds 88. First car I ever drove. As far as Elvis in those days, he would call the Cadillac dealer on a whim and buy all his guests at Graceland a new car.

@@apatheticempathy Well, if they've got money they can restore it despite not being an Elvis car it still classic. That car may not be worthy to be restored, but at least it is a good car. Moreover it's so disappointing that that dude made up a story about the car. Well it looks like he really wanted to rip them off. But like I told you it doesn't matter if it's not Elvi's limo... It still a nice and stylish car.

I can't believe there is not one word about running that VIN tag and finding out who the car was purchased from and who it was sold to. The possibilities are Tennessee or Georgia. One state or the other will have a record of that car. The fact that there was no mention whatsoever about running the VIN number tells me that you probably did run it and found out it wasn't his car.

If this is elvis's car I've have a story. That my grandpa had a '63 convertible and drove my mom to meet Elvis for her graduation in '64. When they got to the gates. Elvis's uncle met them. And let him drive up to the house. My grandpa had said he parked next to a pink cadillac. He said they were chatting with his uncle and dad. Mom said elvis was getting out of the pool. He came they were all talking about cars. Knowing Caddy's I'd be willing to bet that's a 472 or 500 cid. 63 definitely didn't have an EGR valve and the compressor in the middle

My volkswagen is a 63 convertible. This car as a kid was my dream car. The only car in the entire world that would put a smile on my face. I was never allowed to drive or have a vw bug coming from a small town where my dad raced Chevy's & drove them. In his eyes wasn't safe enough. When you see a car or person, you just know that's what I want in my life forever. Well, you just know!!! Well, my 1963 vw bug convertible is here I obtained by myself in my really early 20's. I still have it & I can't imagine her In a junk yard somewhere. Brings tears to my eyes. If I die, I pray someone who loves her will keep her & take care of her, maybe even better than I do. She is a little piece of history. After checking years ago, there was only less than 600 of these beautiful 1963 red vw convertible bugs. Cherish them & ❤️ them. 1963 J.F.K. was president. People loved each other, even strangers. Cars age faster than humans. Especially in places near the sea.
