Tour Elvis Presley’s Private Jet the Lisa Marie

Elvis purchased the 1958 Convair 880 in April 1975 and named it Lisa Marie after his daughter. He spent more than $800,000 having the jet remodeled. The customized jet features a living room, conference room, sitting room, and private bedroom, as well as gold-plated seat belts, suede chairs, leather covered tables, 24-karat gold-flecked sinks and more. The Lockheed Jet Star, customized by Elvis with a yellow and green interior, was primarily used for taking Elvis’ manager and his staff from city to city during his concert tours. It is also on the property but we weren’t able to see inside the smaller plane.
Elvis called the plane his ‘flying Graceland’. This tour is a must-see if you make the trip to Graceland. Join us for the tour!

Elvis Presley lived like a KING thanks to All who support Him keep His legacy alive forever Elvis Presley 2022

[@RetiredLovingIt]

We were so amazed at how much has been kept and preserved.

[@3DPeter]

As a matter of fact, he was broke when he died and that's why his family turned graceland into a attraction to pay of the debts he had. So he made more money after his death than when he was alive.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Sad situation 😢

[@trvlnthru]

That is a pretty amazing private jet. Gold sinks and gold plated seat belts. Elvis had it all. Thanks for the tour!

[@RetiredLovingIt]

He sure did! So amazing to see! 😊

[@ryanhell921]

I was there & seen it in 85'. We had a blast! The property was a lot different back then, and if I remember correctly the seat belt buckles on the Lisa Marie were also gold plated. And oh yeah, we got to see his favorite horse Rising Sun back then, he was still alive. He actually had his head poking through the back kitchen door when we toured the kitchen! Was awesome and I'll never forget

[@RetiredLovingIt]

What an amazing experience! And you are correct the seatbelts were also gold plated! So awesome to see Rising Sun! Thanks for sharing that with us! 😊

[@RyanN880EP]

Convair 880😊I visited it back in 1984, when the girlfriend & I visited Graceland! Always awesome to see it again, since I haven't been back since then. And sure looks like the Graceland experience sure has changed since 84. Which is kinda sad to me.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

It has definitely changed but still a wonderful experience!

Super cool find. I had no idea this even existed for people to tour.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

It is across the street from the Graceland home. It was amazing to see & walk through!

[@Tampo-tiger]

@@RetiredLovingIt Yes, the tour round Graceland is but a small part of your day there. There is a squash court out back which is now a museum of gold discs and robes he wore, then there are the three planes across the road in the Fly Like The King section, then there's the amazing Elvis's car museum, then a little strip mall of Elvis shops. I wish he'd seen all the money he generates despite being dead. I got the feeling there that he was an innocent person being exploited by the cynical. Poor Elvis, such a lovely person, not really suited to the seedy, greedy world of show business.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

We agree! We believe people used him and exploited him. Sad

[@patwagner6168]

We enjoyed the tour of Elvis's plane. Loved the 70's decor and the seatbelt on the bed. Seems like the FAA and OSHA are well intentioned cousins! Loved it. Thanks so much for bringing us along.

[@lastmanstanding2622]

I'm surprised there wasn't a kitchen area in the plane to prepare meals in flight "fit for a King".

[@RetiredLovingIt]

There was a beverage area but no kitchen that we saw. We’re surprised too 😊

[@jagjr6772]

Since it was a former airliner for Delta it would have had a galley for passenger meals. Obviously taken out when he bought it during refurbishing.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

It was probably where the fancy bathroom is now in the back of the plane

[@joycekanadet481]

I'm sure there was a place they made food somewhere! What bout when he went to Hawaii? That's a long trip without eating!-

I actually laid down on his bed for a few seconds in 1991... The Convair was not covered in plastic at that point... Nobody else aboard...

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Wow! Amazing experience! 🤗

[@PlanetImo]

I'm surprised to hear he didn't like alcohol!

[@RetiredLovingIt]

We were surprised as well!

[@wookychewbacca5184]

The smaller jet, of which there was another identical jet he owned at one point is / are Lockheed Jetstars, the other of which he sold before his death and was abandoned in Roswell New Mexico. The abandoned Jetstar recently was sold at auction and made a brief stop at Graceland on its way to Florida to be repurposed as the new owner found out that not only would it be cost prohibitive to repair but also (and this is likely for both Jetstars) FAA noise regulations would prohibit the engines from even being started up

[@RetiredLovingIt]

We heard there was an abandoned one but not heard it had been sold.

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Never knew Elvis had his own private fleet of aircraft. The planes are over the top inside. Best of all they look in great shape. Many planes sitting outside like this get looking in poor condition.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

We’re sure they probably spend thousands to keep them up!

[@Lex5576]

Convair 880s and 990s were very fast aircraft, even by today's standards, around 620mph. Maintenance was a nightmare though because these aircraft were so technologically ahead of their time. They were also loud and guzzled fuel at an alarming rate, which is why only around 100 or so of the aircraft family were built.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Fascinating facts!

I wonder how often the 'conference room' got used? It doesn't seem to fit my concept of EP. The poor bloke had so many hangers-on that all he could really do was keep working despite terrible ill health so that his hangers-on could lounge around in the luxury HE paid for.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

True. People definitely took advantage of him 😞

[@MavAuto-Pete]

Oh dear! Lol The plane looks in Fantastic condition giving its age. $800k to referb the plane not 600k according to graceland.

This one doesn’t fly anymore but it was a jet and they go pretty darn fast. We’re not aviators so couldn’t tell you the miles per hour. Thanks for watching 🤗

[@jameshaxby5434]

Most of the seats are unusual and don't have seatbelts. Wouldn't that be scary to take off in jet while you were sitting on a couch or in a bed ?

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Even though you can’t see them all had seatbelts including the bed because it’s a regulation in order to fly.
