My mom and her sisters ( 4 alltogether ) were very very devout Elvis fans. So for my mom's birthday in 1991, I took her to tour Graceland--FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. What impressed us was the CARE given to the entire estate. Having gone back in 2016--I am resonately impressed that Graceland HAS NEVER CHANGED; the entire place remains IMMACULATE!! It's a prime great example of the professional and passionate CARE given to every square inch of Graceland.

@rgc35292 жыл бұрын
The purple 1956 Eldorado was on display at the Elvis Presley Museum in Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada from summer 1983 to about 1988 in the Maple Leaf Village complex. I know because I was a teenager living 4 blocks from Maple Leaf Village and I remember it was a really big deal for all us locals when this car arrived and they opened the museum. The red 1967 Cadillac Coupe DeVille Honeymoon car was there too and those are some of the best memories of my young years . . . Next to the museum was an arcade that we played Frogger and Ms Pacman and pinball and Galaga. We used to stare at the cars and listen to the Aloha from Hawaii soundtrack that played though the museum and then go into the arcade. It was our teenage Saturday night, and those memories are so special to me. That purple 1956 Cadillac brings back my teenage years in Niagara Falls!!

This is crazy bc my Grandfather and uncle met Elvis. My Grandfather owned and worked a gas station in Florida and They didn't know who he was until he was leaving. They said he was the nicest man they had ever met. My uncle was a teenager and My grandmother was so mad bc she was a huge fan and didn't get to meet him.

I was never aware how many cars he had. I guess because I love pink, I basically knew of the pink car. When I went to buy my first car, I told the salesman I liked pretty colors and he said to me "I bet you like pink don't you?". I was shocked and I said, how did you know?, but my car was yellow, he said he was sorry but they did not have pink and we laughed. I told him you must know I like Elvis.

Anita Peralez That car was bought in 1978, not 76' and he purchased it from my husband. Joe Stix was the one who came to our house and did the negotiations. The car was red and not black! Elvis painted it later. We discover this on a trip to Graceland when my husband spotted the car in the museum. Jo Stix was Elvis's bodyguard and made purchases for him on occasion. He told us that his hands were lethal weapons and were registered. If Joe Stick is still alive I can prove it by a story He told us after the car was bought and he took it to a Red Carpet event. I will finish the story when he calls.

The story goes that that the original colour of this Cadillac was white. Elvis had it changed to purple by crushing a bunch of black grapes on the white car bonnet and telling them that this is colour he wanted. This story comes from a picture book on Graceland that came out in the 80's.

RE: Mercedes Pullman. This is NOT the car from that scene in "On Tour". The C-pillar and shape of rear view window is completely different. The height of the back of the seat is different and the car in the movie had piping on the seat...the Benz does not. Also, in that particular scene, the interior is light colored. It's likely to have been the Cadillac shown in the very next scene.

Exactly, it's a 3L V8 that would have been lucky if it made 150-200hp in '75 with a catalytic converter(unless it was a grey market import he snuck in somehow or modified it with euro spec exhaust), even if the aerodynamics and gearing were optimized 125-140mph would be the best one might see, 150mph going down a steep hill with a tailwind would still probably not be possible. Perhaps the speedometer says 200mph and that is why they made that assumption.
