Elvis paid top-dollar instantly in cash

Always wanted cars right then

And tested and safe

He also had a ‘56 Continental and some Lincolns too

He loved Caddys - but the Stutz Blackhawk design and luxury Italian interiors and body execution of America Virgil Exner’s designs met Elvis’s

Ghia built the first prototype Stutz’s in Italy

Another Italian custom coachmaker built the production Stutz’s in ‘71, ‘72, ‘73

Elvis had the first prototype ever sold - a ‘71 - bigger rear window, special details by Ghia

-

Motto Bene’?

I dunno!

Very good?

-

Elvis had cars of many colors

Once he crushed a handful of grapes on his car’s fender and said:

“Make me some paint exactly that color - and paint this car with it!”

Elvis also had a big Caddy with pearl and fishscales in a gold paint -

Sparkles galore!

Remember I once read up on the stars who had a 1957 MarkII. There were 3 or 4 of them and I thought I posted it.

I’d like to see that! I saw ones in Vegas covered with bright gold pennys. Guess they coated them to keep them bright and shiny looking.
