Prime Minister Koizumi stands before Elvis' legendary pink Cadillac and waves to reporters as he wears a pair of Elvis Presley style sunglasses during his tour of Graceland.

This photo is sure to be an auto-lover's classic: The Presidential Cadillac carrying President Bush and Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi of Japan passes the "King's" legendary pink Cadillac, which was brought out to the Graceland driveway for the occasion. This is 50 years of luxury, custom, one-of-a-kind Cadillac design on display.

From the Franklin Mint's description of their collector's model:

It's the ultimate symbol of Elvis Presley and the age of Rock and Roll...an incredible die-cast replica of the shiny new 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Elvis chose as a special gift for his beloved Mama...painted custom pink just for her. This sensational vehicle symbolizes the freewheeling spirit of the '50s like no other car of its time.

A photo sure to bring a huge grin of delight to anyone's face. I think the sunglasses were a give to him from Priscilla and Lisa-Marie.

The Prime Minister does his Elvis impression. He sang a few bars of several Presley songs, and even did a bit of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." What a thoroughly delightful man. :)

What a great thread! The comments by W on his age are just priceless! I love the pink caddy pics. What fun they all must have had. Thanks for the extra good dose Wolfstar!

I love you for your pink cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink cadillac
Pink cadillac
