He said it was Elvis' car


Was out at lunch today and I came accross this beautiful Cadillac convertible. I had my phone so I snapped a photo. When I showed this to JB, he said he knew the owner and he had purchased it from the estate of Elvis Presley. It sure is a fine example of fifties opulence and the original ownership sure seems plausible.

It seems that every 2nd 50's Cadi convertible belonged to Elvis.

Ya I know, seems a bit far fetched, but on the other hand Elvis purchased over 200 documented Cadillacs and he was giving them away almost every month of his life. He once bought 14 at one time.
