Elvis Presley Cars Gallery





Elvis 1965 Cadillac Eldorado convertible for sale on eBay: Finished in over 40 coats of of hand-rubbed rich casino gold Pearlescent paint with specially designed gold interior by Elvis Presley himself. This unique motorcar was designed and created by both Elvis Presley and the King of Customs himself,

George Barris, who happened to be one of Elvis' closest friends. This great piece of motoring history has many unique features and is truly a one of a kind cr

eation. Where there have been many cars that Elvis has owned, this is, in fact, the only car that Elvis Presley ever designed. This was, in its namesake, his Dream Car


Elvis bought a 1954 Fleetwood Limousine just before going on a tour in it in March 1956. Originally blue, he had it painted yellow. In the spring of 1957, Elvis moved to Graceland, and this vehicle was used to stock the grounds. One time it was used to haul fowl - chickens, ducks, guineas, peacocks and a turkey back to Graceland. The car was so defiled that even

after he sent it to the Cadillac dealer to be cleaned and fumigated, it was never the same. Elvis told his Daddy it was time to buy a new car. That's when he bought a 1958 black Cadillac Limousine.

The car was displayed at the 1977 Tri-State Auto Exhibition in Denver, and was last driven in April 1981 when it took part in the premiere of "This is Elvis" at the Memphian Theatre. Since June 1982 the car has been on display at the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum

at Graceland. It also appeared on stage at the "Elvis Aaron Presley: A Tribute" show in Memphis, 1994.
