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

Thank you for the information, she needs to be saved and sympathetically restored and put back on the road or on tour or display, it’s an important piece of not just automotive history but the history of rock and roll and Elvis Presley.

I'm guessing there must be some kind of record of this around, at least a photograph. I know if I helped build 12 pink Cadillacs for Elvis, I'd want some kind of proof to share with my friends and family.

@@anthonydenn4345 that was back in 1963, so not much was written and kept. 1963, Elvis was popular, but he did things very quietly. But the car was built along with others with the name of Elvis Presley embedded in the VIN plate. This particular car was made to chauffeur Elvis around, not for him to drive personally

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. THis car has an Elvis tag for all too see, & its unbelievable that nobody would want it. LOL!

After spending years working as a car buyer for a salvage yard, nothing much shocks me anymore, but this is unbelievable. During my time in that job, I purchased everything from a running 77 Camaro, to an immaculate low mileage '71 Torino, to a fully customized '85 Caprice that took an hour to get running. I even bought an Alfa Romeo Spyder. I bought so many awesome cars that we got our dealer license and started fixing and reselling them. A '73 VW Fastback I bought, got running, and resold even showed up on a KZbin channel. I've seen it all, but this is amazing. Due to it's connection to Elvis, this car would be worth an astronomical amount of money. Why would anyone let it fall into disrepair, and then leave it sitting outdoors rusting away with stuff piled on top of it? smh Some people just don't have any common sense.

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.

@@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.

I see a lot of comments saying that there is no way that this was ever Elvis's limo. Mostly on account that there was a bad tape job done when it was painted pink but it's the door plate tat is engraved with Elvis's signature that makes me believe that it's authentic. People may think that if it really was his limo that it'd have been stuck in a museum but Elvis loved cars and most likely had many different limo's. Say he got a newer model limo and sold this one, probably to someone who didn't want it pink and they had it repainted maybe back in the late 60's and it have been sold to some other big wig who didn't care if it was Elvis's old limo. Years later they sell it an the new owner or even the 3rd or th owner see's that it is an old Elvis car and repaints it again back to pink. That easily explains the shabby paint work. and like I said, you cannot disregard the engraved signature on the door plate

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
