It is known that the famous Elvis Presley loved Cadillac models and that he owned a large number of cars of his favorite brand, and now the last one he drove is offered for sale.
Elvis’ most famous Cadillac was a pink Fleetwood from 1955, but the last car he drove in his life was a 1977 Seville. This model is being auctioned by Bonhams and is in excellent condition.
The Cadillac Seville is a unique piece of rock and roll history. Under the hood is a 5.7-liter V8 engine, which was installed by the Fisher company. This was the last car Presley bought and drove before his death in 1977.
The King of Rock and Roll chose the color scheme himself, as well as a CB radio so he could communicate with security and kitchen staff at Graceland.
The origin of the vehicle has been confirmed by Graceland Authenticated LLC, and the original license plates bear Elvis’ name. There is also a photograph taken while he was behind the wheel.
After Presley’s death, the car went to his fiancee Ginger Alden and later became part of the collection of Jimmy Velvet, the founder of the Elvis Presley Museum. It was then sold to collector Greg Page at a Las Vegas auction in 1994 for $101,500, and the current owner purchased it at Graceland in 2014 and donated it to the National Automobile Museum for public display.
Now the car is being sold again after ten years, and the auction lasts until November 25. The price is expected to be much higher than the previous one.
