If you’re going to dress up as Elvis for Halloween, you should know a little about his personal cars

If you’re considering going to a Halloween party dressed as Elvis, you owe it to yourself to know a little about the cars he’s owned. And if you think the King only owned Cadillacs, you’d be wrong. Why write about Elvis’ automobiles? Because if you’re a car fanatic like we are, there’s a good chance you’ll find it interesting to study what automobiles another fellow fanatic (one who was a star with the world at his fingertips and virtually unlimited funds) would pick out for himself. Especially if the time period of purchases takes place during the golden era of the automobile.

From the age of twenty in 1955 when the King’s first hit single made him wealthy overnight through his untimely death in 1977, Elvis purchased an untold number of cars for himself, friends, family, and strangers each year.

A rare picture of Elvis and band members with the original pink Cadillac he owned. This 1954 Fleetwood was the first Cadillac he purchased, and it was lost due to vehicle fire soon after. He later purchased a 1955 model that was custom painted to match this one. The ’55 is the one he held onto, and the one everyone remembers him by.

He preferred buying new cars over older collectibles and usually updated his fleet regularly with the most current models. Often he gave away his year-old chariots as gifts, other times he’d trade them in on the spur of the moment after passing a dealership displaying something that caught his fancy. Many a Memphis area dealership owner received a phone call in the middle of the night by Elvis, or one of his associates, that the King was interested in an immediate purchase. They quickly arrived to complete the sale, for they knew Elvis was a spontaneous buyer – one that was unlikely to return the next day. If the King appreciated the design, the lines, of an automobile, he didn’t care if it was a $500 Volkswagen or a $50,000 Cadillac – he’d buy it. My kind of guy. In writing this article, our interest was in the cars he chose for himself rather than ones he may have bought for others. It would be seemingly impossible to track down every single vehicle Elvis owned throughout the years, but we’ve made every effort to find pictures of ones that could be documented.

Elvis Presley's 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood after loss due to fire

In July 1955, Elvis purchased a new ’55 Cadillac Fleetwood to replace the pink ’54 model that had burned. Elvis gave it to his mother Gladys as a gift, but he often used it since she had no license and never drove. Because Elvis held onto it until his death, the car remains on display in the Elvis Presley Automotive Museum today.

Elvis Presley in a 1955 Ford Thunderbird

Sources on the internet state it has never been confirmed that the 1955 Ford Thunderbird Elvis is seen driving here was ever owned by him. However, it seems believable enough that he would want one. If you were in his position in the 1950s, wouldn’t you have bought one?

Unable to locate a Porsche 356, Elvis opted for a 1958 BMW 507 that was formerly used in several track events by racecar driver Hans Stuck. Because Elvis only leased the 507 instead of buying it, it went back to BMW – who promptly used Elvis’s ownership as a promotional tool.

Funeral procession for Elvis - August 18, 1977

Certainly Elvis would have appreciated it, and it’s hard to imagine a more touching goodbye salute to a fallen hero…

: For his 18th birthday in January of 1953, Elvis received his first car as a gift from his father Vernon. Purchased for $50, the 1942 Lincoln Zephyr allowed him a great deal of freedom on high school dates.

: Once Elvis began to make some money as a recording artist, he purchased his first Cadillac in March of 1955 – a pink 1954 Fleetwood sedan. Due to a fire that happened on the road, the ’54 only provided transportation for Elvis and the Blue Moon Boys for about three months.

: A rare color picture of Elvis and band members with the original pink Cadillac he owned. This 1954 Fleetwood was lost due to vehicle fire soon after. He later purchased a 1955 model that was custom painted to match this one. The ’55 is the one he held onto, and the one everyone remembers him by.

: While on the road, Elvis and band members participated in the Jimmie Rodgers Snow Parade on May 26, 1955 in Meridian, MS. In this picture, Meridian High School Majorettes stand in front of the 1954 Fleetwood.

: Performer and Reverend Jimmie Rodgers Snow along with Elvis and Bill Black on the hood of Elvis’s pink 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood at the Jimmie Rodgers Parade on May 26, 1955 in Meridian, MS.

: Another angle of performer and Reverend Jimmie Rodgers Snow along with Elvis and Bill Black on the hood of Elvis’s pink 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood at the Jimmie Rodgers Parade on May 26, 1955 in Meridian, MS.

: Elvis’s pink ’54 Fleetwood caught fire and burned beyond repair when a seized brake lining overheated and caught fire near Texarkana, Arkansas in June 1955. Because Elvis was extremely dismayed, he immediately found a replacement ’55 Fleetwood that became an icon of his persona.

: In July 1955, Elvis purchased a new ’55 Cadillac Fleetwood to replace the pink ’54 model that had burned. Elvis gave it to his mother Gladys as a gift, but he often used it since she had no license and never drove. Because Elvis held onto it until his death, the car remains on display in the Elvis Presley Automotive Museum today.

: When Elvis first bought the famous pink ’55 Cadillac, it was white with a black painted roof – as seen here. Elvis first had the body custom painted pink, then later had the roof painted white to match the previous ’54.

: In this 1955 photo, Elvis polishes his new ’55 Fleetwood. While this was neither his first car or first Caddy, it was his first NEW car.

: A picture taken after early 1956 when Elvis finished the custom paintwork on his ’55 Fleetwood by having the black roof painted white.

: Elvis bought a yellow 1954 Cadillac convertible during August of 1955. No complete pictures of the car exist, but this painting by Chris Osborne depicts Elvis enjoying it during a warm, carefree summer drive.

: A picture of Kay Wheeler (the first Elvis Presley Fan Club President) and her sister Linda with Elvis’s 1954 yellow Cadillac convertible – taken in Fort Worth Texas in 1956.

: In January 1956, Elvis purchased this slightly used ’55 Fleetwood 75 limo.

: Along with a 1954 Fleetwood limo purchased at about the same time, the two luxury liners made it easy for all the band members to travel between shows. Elvis’s father Vernon co-signed for the black ’55.

: During the early months of 1956, Elvis and band members purchased a second Cadillac limo – a used 1954 Fleetwood 75. .

: This colorized photo taken in 1956 shows Elvis with his new Harley KH motorcycle, pink 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood 60, blue 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limo, and yellow 1954 Cadillac convertible. This was at the house at Audobon Drive in Memphis he bought before moving to Graceland.

: This second picture taken at his Audobon Drive house in 1956 shows Elvis’s parents (Vernon and Gladys Presley) with the 1954 yellow Cadillac convertible and the well-known pink 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood sedan.

: Elvis with the 1956 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limo, photographed after a performance October 18, 1956. The ’54 was his fourth Cadillac. Commenting on the subject to a reporter, “I do have four Cadillacs. But I haven’t got use for four. Maybe some day I’ll go broke and I can sell a couple of ’em.”

: Elvis’s band members Scott Moore, Gordon Stoker, and Hugh Jarrett load up the ’54 Fleetwood limo in Jacksonville, Florida during August of 1956.

: Elvis’s band member Bill Black with the 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limo during 1956.

: Elvis’s 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limo, photographed in a back alley during August of 1956 in St. Petersburg, Florida.

: This photo, taken in 1957, shows band member Scott Moore with the band’s ’54 Fleetwood limo towing a BMW Isetta Elvis purchased back to Memphis. The limo had been repainted white at this point.

: Elvis bought a red BMW Isetta as a Christmas gift for his manager Colonel Parker. This publicity photo is from December 21, 1957.

: A better view of a 1957 BMW ISETTA 300, similar to one owned by Elvis Presley.

: Sources on the internet state it has never been confirmed that the 1955 Ford Thunderbird Elvis is seen driving here was ever owned by him. However, it seems believable enough that he would want one. If you were in his position in the 1950s, wouldn’t you have bought one?

: In June of 1956, Elvis and girlfriend June Juanico (shown in this pic) flew to Houston to purchase this new 1956 Eldorado convertible.

: This picture was taken shortly after Elvis arrived back home in Memphis. The Eldorado was white when new.

: A photo of Elvis’s 1956 Eldorado convertible taken after he purchased Graceland in 1957. Note at this time, the car was still the original white.

: Another angle of Elvis’s 1956 Cadillac Eldorado convertible in front of the Graceland house in 1957.

: It’s reported at some point during 1957, Elvis squashed a handful of grapes against the fender of the ’56 Eldorado and had a Memphis customizer match the color, repainting the car as seen here today in the Elvis Presley Automotive Museum.

: This photo of Elvis posing for female fans was taken sometime in the later half of 1957. Perhaps the ladies here were also impressed with 1956 Eldorado’s custom white leather seats and purple fur carpeting.

: Elvis kept the 1956 Cadillac Eldorado until December 1957 when he traded it for a newer model. Here, the car is seen behind Graceland.

: After Elvis returned from Biloxi, MS in July 1956, he traded his yellow ’54 Cadillac convertible in on this lavender 1956 Lincoln Premiere coupe.

: Here, Elvis is seen during July 1956 with the ’56 Lincoln Premiere. He only kept this car for several weeks before trading it in on a 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II.

: Elvis often found any light-colored cars he owned were quickly adorned with women’s phone numbers written in lipstick, and the 1956 Lincoln Premiere coupe he owned was no exception.

: This Ford Motor Company promotional picture allows a fuller look at a 1956 Lincoln Premiere coupe.

: In early August 1956, Elvis traded his two-week-old ’56 Lincoln Premiere in and purchased a new ’56 Lincoln Continental Mark II.

: In this photo, Elvis takes final delivery of his new 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II coupe in August 1956.

: The 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II became one of Elvis’s favorite vehicles – he reportedly drove it from Memphis to New Orleans for the filming of King Creole.

: This photo (taken in 1957) shows Elvis’ cousin Mackey Hargett standing next to Elvis in the 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II at Graceland.

: This photo from 1957 shows Elvis riding a pony on the side yard of Graceland, with the 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II parked in the background.

: Elvis’s 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II is on display at the Elvis Presley Automotive Museum today.

: This crude picture shows a 1956 Cadillac Sedan de Ville owned by Elvis that he kept at one of his vacation homes. Currently, the car is on display at the Geneva Auto Museum.

: Elvis’s interest in German microcars continued, with him purchasing a 1956 Messerschmitt. The German company had been banned from producing aircraft after the end of World War II – branching into three-wheeled automobiles instead. This picture shows him with his grandfather.

: This 1956 photo shows Elvis with a Messerschmitt KR200 three-wheeled microcar. Reports document that he owned and drove the car for at least a year, before trading it to Memphis clothes store owner Bernard Lansky in return for a three-hour shopping spree in 1957.

: Elvis poses with his 1957 Cadillac Fleetwood after purchasing it in late 1956.

: This well-known image of snow-covered Graceland taken in December 1957 shows several of Elvis’s personal cars out front, including the 1956 Lincoln Mark II, white 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood 60, black 1957 Cadillac limo, and pink 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood up front.

: A 1957 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine, similar to one Elvis owned during 1957-58.

: This photo was taken June 1, 1958 as Elvis dropped an army friend Rex Mansfield off at his parents’ house in Memphis after they both completed basic training. Elvis was driving his 1957 Cadillac limousine.

: This photo was taken June 1, 1958 as Elvis dropped an army friend Rex Mansfield off in his 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood limo after they both completed basic training.

: From 1957 – 1960, the Eldorado “Brougham” was a separate, low-volume specialty 4-door. It shared no body panels with any other Cadillacs, and was priced almost twice as high as “regular” Eldorados such as the Eldo Seville coupe, and Eldo Biarritz. Elvis and other celebrities owned them.

: A 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham four door, similar to one Elvis Presley reportedly owned.

: After completing basic training in the United States military (1958-60), Elvis poses in front of Graceland with his 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III for a newspaper feature on June 2, 1958.

: A photo of Elvis taken while he was entering the gates of Graceland on June 2, 1958 while home on leave from military service.

: Elvis Presley traded his ’57 limousine in on a 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine model, which he kept through 1960.

: From April 1958 to early 1960, Elvis served in the U.S. military and was stationed in Germany. He immediately picked up a used Volkswagen Beetle of mid- to late-1950s vintage to use until he would come by a ’58 BMW 507. This picture shows Elvis in a similar model in the movie Double Trouble.

: A 1957 Volkswagen Beetle, similar to one Elvis Presley owned while stationed in Germany during 1958.

: His efforts to come by a Porsche 356 Speedster while there proved fruitless because there were so few around at the time. He then decided a BMW 507 was the next best thing.

: Here, Uschi Siebert (a former Miss Hessen and then a well known German television personality) hands Elvis the keys to his newly acquired 1958 BMW 507 on December 21, 1958 in Germany.

: Elvis’s 1958 BMW 507 was a “pre-owned” one, formerly used in several track events by racecar driver Hans Stuck. Because the engine had been suitably thrashed, the dealership (BMW of Glöckler) the engine was rebuilt to stock specification for Elvis to use on a daily basis.

: Elvis’s white 1958 BMW 507 had a removable hardtop – seen on the car in this picture.

: During his time driving the white 1958 BMW 507, female fans would often write their phone numbers on the car in red lipstick – something that was almost impossible to remove. Because Elvis only leased the 507 instead of buying it, it went back to BMW – who promptly used Elvis’s ownership as a promotional tool.

: Elvis appreciating the German engineering of his 1958 BMW 507.

: This photo was taken in 1959 in front of the house Elvis rented in Bad Nauheim, Germany. Visible are a Volkswagen Beetle, 1958 BMW 507, and 1958 Mercedes 300 he owned during his military service there from 1958-60.

: In this picture, Elvis is getting into his 1958 Mercedes 300 to report to his military base in Germany.

: While Elvis was stationed in Germany during 1958-60, he also managed to come across a used 1953 Cadillac – a car that undoubtedly made him feel much more at home.

: During the summer of 1959, Elvis swapped the leased white ’58 BMW 507 he had been driving for a new red 1959 model.

: Elvis out on the town while stationed in Germany in his 1959 BMW 507.

: Currently, Elvis’s 1960 Lincoln Continental is on display at Floyd Garrett’s Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville, Tennessee.

: This 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood limo was purchased new by Elvis through 1966. Along the way, he had it customized by George Barris – who added gold plated interior gadgets such as a phone, shoe buffer, refrigerator, entertainment console with a ten record automatic changer RCA record player, swivel TV, and tape deck.

: In the forefront of this 1960 picture is Elvis’s uncle (Vester Presley) with Elvis’s white 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine in the background. At this point, the car wasn’t yet adorned with gold trim as it would be.

: When Elvis grew tired of the 1960 Fleetwood in late 1966, Elvis’s manager Colonel Parker convinced RCA to buy it for $24,000 and put it on tour as a promotional tool from 1967-68. Here, Elvis poses with the car in 1967.

: In this picture taken in January of 1968, Elvis’s 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood gold plated limo is displayed at a hotel in Sydney, Australia.

: In the late 1970s, Elvis’s 1960 “Gold Cadillac” Fleetwood was donated to the Country Music Association Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN. A press of a button will summon a hoist that lifts the roof off to reveal the inside.

: Along the interior of the 1960 Gold Cadillac’s roof are six gold records attributed to Elvis.

: Inside Elvis’s former 1960 Fleetwood, there’s a television set, orbital shoe polisher, bar, refrigerator, hair clipper, and phone.

: Exterior modifications made significant changes to the roof, the paint, and the trim.

: This picture taken in 1960 of the rear of Graceland shows Vernon Presley’s 1930 Ford Model A along with two Presley family favorites – the pink ’55 Fleetwood and ’56 Lincoln Mark II.

: This 1960 base model Cadillac Series 62 coupe in white with salmon pink roof owned by Elvis sold in Australia in 2006 for $39,235 U.S. dollars. Perhaps Elvis chose the base model on a whim because the pink roof caught his eye.

: Elvis’s 1960 white Cadillac coupe with pink roof is visible in the background of this picture, taken while filming “Follow That Dream” during 1961.

: In the fall of 1960, Elvis purchased a 1960 Rolls Royce Phantom after celebrating a 5-year contract with movie producer Hal Wallis. Story has it when he brought it home, his mothers’ chickens pecked away at their reflections in the elegant finish. Most people would have just shot the birds but Elvis had it repainted multiple times.

: Today, Elvis’s 1960 Rolls-Royce Phantom can be seen at the Elvis Presley Automotive Museum.

: In this photo, Elvis’s 1966 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and 1960 Phantom can be seen on display at the Elvis Presley Automotive Museum in Memphis.

: Elvis kept the 1960 MG until the mid-1960s when he gave it away as a gift. Here, the car is shown on display in Little Rock, Arkansas.

: This photo was taken during 1965 at Elvis’s home he rented at the time on Perugia Way in Los Angeles, California. Visible in the parking lot are his red 1960 MG, a 1965 Chrysler New Yorker wagon, a 1965 Chevrolet Impala, and assorted other vehicles.

: An additional picture taken in 1965 at Elvis’s Los Angeles home at a family get together. The red 1960 MG was still owned by him then. Elvis and his father Vernon lean on the back of a ’65 Chevrolet Impala.

: Also featured in the movie “My Blue Hawaii” was this Jeep CJ-5 Surrey model, which came from the factory with striped roofs and seats in color packages such as this one. Elvis kept one after the movie was completed, and currently it’s on display at the Elvis Presley Automotive Museum in Memphis.

: Evident in the background of this third picture from 1960 taken in the background of Graceland is the 1960 Jeep CJ-5 “Surrey” model featured in My Blue Hawaii. In the picture is Elvis’s younger cousin Mackey Hargett.

: As the caption from this Elvis fan website reads, you’re seeing Elvis (in the 1961 Cadillac Coupe de Ville convertible) with his cousin Mackie.

: Elvis purchases a 1962 Ford Thunderbird “Sports Roadster” for $6,284 from a Memphis area Ford dealership salesman Ernie Barrasso he had known since grade school. It was a high-end Thunderbird edition featuring special wire wheels, a tonneau cover to hide the rear seats, and grille slots on the rear fenders.

: Knowing Elvis’s penchant for cars and hearing comments that “this is a car Elvis might buy”, salesman Ernie Barrasso visited Graceland on a Sunday and dropped off a brochure (shown here). The next day, Elvis drove to the Ford dealership in one of his Cadillacs and bought the T-Bird on the spot, waiting for it to be prepped so he could drive it home. He later sent someone down to pick up his Cadillac.

: A 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster similar to the one Elvis had. As it happened, the spokes on the wire wheels this car was equipped with suffered from a faulty design and were prone to breaking and flying apart. This happened to Elvis’s car when it was being driven out to California for him to use while filming a movie. His drivers had to stop along the way to replace the wire wheels. Since they were all recalled, the dealer could only supply black steel wheels. When Elvis saw the car arrive without the wire wheels, he was so upset with Ford Motor Company he placed a call to them, with the buck finally stopping at Edsel Ford himself. Knowing what a good customer Elvis was, Mr. Ford apologized for the situation that the wheels could not be replaced – even offering Elvis his money back if he wished to return the car. Elvis declined to return it but never really enjoyed the car after that point.

: Elvis reportedly owned a 1962 Cadillac convertible (similar to this one pictured) that he gave as a gift to Jack Marshall of Jack Marshall Foods – an old friend of Elvis who played piano at Gladys Presley’s funeral in 1958.

: This 1962 Lincoln Continental was bought new by Elvis in Las Vegas. Currently, the car is on the display at the Graceland museum.

: This photo captures Elvis, Priscilla, and others in his 1962 Lincoln Continental that he used primarily when he was California for movie filming.

: Elvis with a 1963 Buick Riviera he reportedly owned. Elvis never went for Buicks, but it makes sense he would have liked the Riviera styling – GM product planners had originally planned to introduce it as a Cadillac model.

: Elvis purchased this 1963 Chevrolet Corvair coupe new as a high school graduation present for Priscilla.

: When the Beatles and Elvis got together and played for the one and only time at Presley’s Hollywood home on August 27, 1965, Elvis’s 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville was used to give Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr a lift. Elvis is standing wearing a red shirt in this picture.

: In the late ‘60s, Elvis and Hollywood customizer George Barris drew up plans to create a “Dream Cadillac” based on a ’65 Eldorado convertible Elvis owned at the time. For reasons unknown, Elvis never chose to follow through with it while he was alive.

: Nine years after the King’s death, representatives from the Elvis Presley Cosmetics Company contacted Barris in 1986 to make the original plans a reality. Barris found a ’65 Eldorado and gave it full star treatment in its execution as a tribute to what Elvis would have wanted.

: Forty coats of gold paint were applied, and the steering wheel, television, and phone received gold plating. Three gold 45 records of Elvis’ were bonded to the inside of the soft top cover. After completion, the Dream Caddy was put on a display tour by E.P. Cosmetics from 1986-87 – and made the prize in their sweepstakes entry.

: After the ’65 Eldorado promotional tour was over, Barris bought the car back and used it as a promotional tool for himself. Since then, it has changed hands several times, remaining privately owned to this day.

: Elvis bought this 1966 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud new, then traded it in. After that, actor Michael Landon and country music artist Charlie Rich owned it before it ended up at the Graceland museum.

: In January 1967, Elvis and fiancée Priscilla took a sightseeing trip to his birth town of Tupelo, Mississippi. Exploring back roads, they came across a small ranch property for sale they fell in love with and purchased. On Valentine’s day of that year, Elvis took delivery of this ’67 Ford Ranchero to use on ranch visits.

: After about a year of owning the ranch in Mississippi and this 1967 Ford Ranchero he had purchased on a whim, Elvis lost interest in “ranching” and sold the property. The car was traded in on a ’68 Cadillac. Currently, the El Ranchero is on display at The Museum of Automobiles in Morrilton, Arkansas.

The ’67 Eldo featured new engineering and design unlike any other previous Cadillac, and its looks made it the must-have car among many celebrities that year. While Elvis loved the car, after seeing the improvements and updates to the next year’s ’68 model, he sold it to actress Pat Priest.

: In this paparazzi photo from 1967 taken of a rental house Elvis used for studio casting on Rocca Place in Los Angeles, Elvis is walking toward his 1967 Cadillac Eldorado. Also visible in this picture is his 1967 Lincoln Continental limousine because Priscilla rode in it to meet him there.

: The black vinyl top and interior confirms that Priscilla Presley is driving Elvis’s 1967 Cadillac Eldorado.

: According to reports, Elvis was showing the 1967 Lincoln Continental limousine that he received as a gift from Colonel Parker. A passerby in the pink Dodge slowed up to look at Elvis, then the king went over and introduced himself. Or perhaps he liked the color of the Dodge.

: It’s unclear if the ’67 Lincoln Continental limo shown in this picture is the same car in the previous picture after being repainted black, or if it’s a different one altogether.

: Elvis greets a fan in law enforcement with his 1967 Lincoln Continental limousine in the background.

: Elvis greets a fan in front of his 1967 Lincoln Continental limousine.

: Elvis’s 1968 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine he used in Hollywood is on display at the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee Elvis Presley museum. According to the sign, it also appeared in “The Mechanic” starring Charles Bronson.

: Elvis was not able to resist buying this ’68 Cadillac Eldorado he saw in a Memphis dealership’s window shortly after Christmas 1967.

: After one occasion in early 1969 when Elvis’s 1968 Eldorado wouldn’t start, Elvis retrieved a pistol from the house and shot a hole through the right front fender (visible in picture).

: Priscilla enjoyed driving the 1968 Cadillac Eldorado the most. Shortly after Elvis shot it with a pistol for not starting, they got a ’69 model and gave this one to Priscilla’s stepfather as a gift.

: This picture shows Elvis driving through the gates of Graceland in a Cadillac Sedan DeVille. The no-draft windows in the front and the accent lines show this to be a ’67 or ’68 model.

: Elvis at his 1174 Hillcrest Ave, Los Angeles home in 1969. Visible are a 1969 Lincoln Mark III and ’69 Cadillac Eldorado he owned at the time.

: In this picture of Elvis in the driveway at his Los Angeles home in 1969, a new Lincoln Mark III is visible along with the ’63 Chevrolet Corvair Elvis gave Priscilla six years earlier. Facing the camera is a red 1964 Cadillac convertible.

: Elvis’s 1969 Mercedes 600 limo resides at the Graceland Museum today. Unlike another ’69 600 he owned at the time, this one had a longer wheelbase with six doors.

: Elvis standing through the open sunroof of his 1969 Mercedes 600 limousine he purchased in April, 1970 for use around Los Angeles.

: Another angle of Elvis in Los Angeles with his 1969 Mercedes 600 six-door limousine.

: This photo, taken in about 1972, shows Elvis approaching his 1969 Mercedes 600 six-door limo.

: Elvis purchased this 1969 Mercedes 600 short-wheelbase limousine new with a $5,000 down payment and 36 installment payments afterwards. Here, he is seen in 1971 with actress Natalie Wood.

: A full look at Elvis’s 1969 Mercedes 600 limo. In late 2010, this car was auctioned at Bonham’s to a German buyer for £80,700.

: Elvis, photographed during late 1973 in the 1969 Mercedes 600 short-wheelbase limo he owned.

: The cut line on the door panel identifies the car in this picture as a 1969 or 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood. Given Elvis’s penchant for updating his fleet, he would have no doubt purchased one due to styling revisions over the ’68 models. The date of the picture is unknown.

: Elvis bought this 1971 Mercedes 280SL roadster for Priscilla around Christmas 1970. Reportedly she claims it has always been her favorite car. It’s not hard to imagine he saw a tiny bit of the ’58 BMW 507 convertible he had leased when stationed in Germany.

: Visible in this picture of Elvis’s Los Angeles home are Priscilla’s white 1971 Mercedes 280SL and his 1971 Stutz Blackhawk, which was one of his personal favorites.

: Elvis became a big fan of the Stutz Motor Car Company, resurrected from 1930s fame by a New York banker in 1968. Built around a ’69 Pontiac Grand Prix chassis and frame, they were powered by a choice of General Motors V8 engines. By 1970, two Stutz Blackhawk prototypes had been completed – the second one of which was given to the first U.S. dealership in Beverly Hills to use as a sales demonstrator. This prototype built in 1970 was registered as a ’71, the first model year production cars were made through 1987. The two pictures below show the first black ’71 prototype being delivered to Los Angeles from the coachworks builder in Europe

: Among many celebrities given personal showings of the new-for-’71 Stutz car, Elvis and Frank Sinatra were both eager to buy this second prototype. Elvis convinced the dealership owner to sell him the actual car (instead of taking an order) by pointing out the publicity from the King himself driving around in it would do more to sell cars than any methods the dealership was using. He also was agreeable to pose for publicity photos, and to allowing the prototype to appear in a national auto show three days later – two things Sinatra would not agree to. That sealed the deal, and days after the auto show the car was Elvis’s.

: Elvis loved his first 1971 Stutz and drove it often until it was badly damaged in an accident July 1971 while an employee was taking it to the carwash. Elvis kept the damaged car in storage but never got it fixed. After his death, the Graceland Estate had it restored in 1981 for display, where it remains today.

: Fans always liked to take pictures of what was in Elvis’s driveway, and this 1971 photo is no exception. Visible are the 1971 Stutz, 1969 Mercedes 600 limo, 1969 Cadillac Eldorado (way back), 1966 Cadillac convertible (facing camera), and a 1969 Ford LTD Country Squire wagon.

: Elvis cutting a stone groove behind the wheel of his first 1971 Stutz Blackhawk on October 9, 1970. In the passenger seat is John O’ Grady.

: After his first 1971 Stutz was badly damaged in an accident by an employee of his, Elvis purchased this second 1971 Stutz Blackhawk on September 10, 1971.

: Elvis’s second black 1971 Stutz Blackhawk at the driveway entrance to his Los Angeles home, approximately 1971 or 1972.

: This 1971 Mercedes 280SEL 4.5 that Elvis owned is on display at the Smokey Mountain Car Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

: Elvis bought this 1971 Cadillac Sedan de Ville for his aunt that lived at Graceland. Most often it was he himself that used it.

: In 1974, Elvis gave his ’71 Cadillac Sedan de Ville to the parents of girlfriend Linda Thompson, who sold it to a German investor in 1981 – after which it went on tour. It has remained in private hands since.

: Elvis liked the redesigned ’71 “standard” Cadillacs so much, he also purchased several similar ’71 Fleetwood limousines. Here, Elvis is seen with entourage in the early 1970s.

: In this photo, Elvis was spotted inside another 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine after a performance in Uniondale, New York in July 1975. Unlike the one in the previous picture, this ’71 Fleetwood was not equipped with vinyl roof.

: A custom coachbuilder created this 1972 Cadillac wagon for Elvis. Built from a Sedan de Ville using sections from General Motors’ full-size station wagon lineup, it features a forward-facing third row seat and a “clamshell” two-piece tailgate with glass that retracts into the roof, and a door that retracts into the lower body. Another one was also built for Dean Martin.

: A 1972 Lincoln Mark IV Elvis owned. This design ran from 1972-76, and Elvis reportedly gave a number of them as gifts.

: Another view of Elvis’s 1972 Lincoln Mark V.

: Elvis picked up this 1972 Stutz during September of 1973. Here, he’s seen driving it on the grounds of Graceland.

: The final Stutz Elvis bought was a black 1973 (shown behind the white ’72 he was trading in), custom ordered with red leather seats and gold plate accents. Here, Elvis takes delivery of the ’73 on September 6, 1974 from the dealership owner at 4:00pm after just waking up.

: This picture of unknown vintage shows Elvis with friends behind the wheel of the 1973 Stutz Blackhawk. It is reported the ’73 was his favorite Stutz – he enjoyed it literally until the day he died.

: Visible in this 1974 picture in front of Graceland are Elvis’s 1973 Stutz Blackhawk, 1973 Lincoln Mark IV, 1969 Mercedes 600 limo, and 1973 Lincoln Continental limo.

: This 1973 Cadillac Eldorado hardtop was given to Elvis as a birthday gift from his father Vernon Presley. It’s currently on display at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada.

: Elvis used the ’73 Cadillac Eldorado his father gave him as his personal car for a brief period then gifted it to his karate instructor, who had helped him reach 7th degree black belt rank.

: Naturally, Elvis’s 1973 Eldorado was customized with a trunklid featuring a “continental” style spare tire hump.

: Feeling in the mood for another gold-treated Cadillac, Elvis had this 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood customized for himself.

: This photograph of Elvis’s 1973 Lincoln Continental limo was taken by his uncle Vester in front of Graceland during August of 1976.

: Today, Elvis’s 1973 Lincoln Continental limo is on display at the Elvis Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennesee.

: This 1974 Mercedes 450SLC owned by Elvis sold in 2019 for $125,000. Previously, it had been on display Beurs Van Berlage Museum in Amsterdam.

: This gold 1974 Mercedes 450SLC coupe owned by Elvis was previously on display at Beurs Van Berlage Museum (formerly a location of the Amsterdam stock exchange) in a display titled “Footsteps OF Elvis“.

: Perhaps feeling the need for a simpler, lower profile four-door sedan, the King also acquired this 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood but kept its appearance stock. Here, Elvis is seen cruising around Memphis in 1974.

: Elvis’s 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood was one he used more often. Here, Elvis is pictured with daughter Lisa Marie.

: Elvis owned this custom-built station wagon based on the 1974 Cadillac de Ville sedan. It features the GM wagon clamshell talegate, and a 3rd row seat.

: Here, the 1974 deVille wagon is shown parked in front of Graceland.

: After giving away his 1972 Lincoln Mark IV, Elvis purchased this almost-identical 1975 model. For Elvis, white was the new pink when it came to car colors in the 1970s.

: This 1975 photo shows Elvis out on the town with “Memphis mafia” buddies in the car.

: Girlfriend Linda Thompson and other “Elvis associates” crowd his 1975 Lincoln Mark IV in this picture.

: Elvis purchased this 1975 Cadillac Coupe de Ville on September 26, 1974. The dent in the left front fender was from a bullet fired accidentally by Elvis’s uncle Vester.

: This 1975 Ferrari Dino was purchased by Elvis used in October 1976 for $21,000. It was the only Ferrari he owned. Somehow it’s easier to picture the King in one of Ferrari’s bigger, front-engine models rather than this one which had the engine behind the passenger area.

: Elvis bought this ’75 Eldorado coupe, then gave it to his father Vernon after using it for a bit. With 40,000 miles on it, it recently went to auction.

: Elvis owned this 1976 Lincoln Mark IV, as shown here in Denver, Colorado.

: Elvis Presley’s 1976 Lincoln Mark IV is currently on display at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

: Another view of Elvis’s 1976 Lincoln Mark IV, shown here with original wheels and tires.

: The 1976-79 Cadillac Seville was a groundbreaking model for Cadillac. Compactly sized, it was styled in the nature of European luxury sedans and sold very well. Elvis was first in line to purchase this 1976 Cadillac Seville in the spring of 1975.

: Elvis drove his 1976 Cadillac Seville for a year before giving it as a gift to his dentist, Dr. Hoffman.

: 1976 was a year when Cadillac designs seem to hit their stride. Elvis may have thought so too, because he gave away more ’76 Caddies as gifts than any other model year. This is a 1976 Fleetwood Talisman special edition model he had the “pimp treatment” applied to.

: Elvis’s pimped ride is on display at a museum in the Netherlands. The treatment on his ’76 Cadillac Fleetwood was perhaps inspired by a similar treatment of a ’71 Fleetwood in the 007 movie “Live and Let Die”

: Documentation showing that Elvis purchased a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, which he later gave as a gift.

: Elvis purchased a white 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, similar to the one shown here.

: Here, Lisa Marie stands in front of Elvis’s 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood limo.

: Originally owned by Elvis Presley costing $14,409 in 1976, this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado coupe was Elvis Presley’s last “vacation car,” and it was kept in Denver, Colorado.

: Elvis’s 1976 Cadillac Eldorado coupe was modified with a custom grille, fog lamps, gold covered wheel covers, and his trademark initials “TCB” (Taking Care of Business) on the doors. Inside was a telephone in front and a television in the back.

: Another 1976 Eldorado coupe purchased by Elvis.

: One of the final cars Elvis owned, this 1977 Cadillac Seville is currently on display at the UK’s National Motor Museum.

: An interior picture of one of the final cars Elvis owned, this 1977 Cadillac Seville is currently on display at the UK’s National Motor Museum.

: This 1977 Lincoln Mark V is one of the last cars Elvis owned during his lifetime. Currently, it is on display at the Imperial Palace Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

: Probably the last Eldorado the King owned, this 1977 model is available for tours and shows today.

: This is the last known picture ever taken of Elvis alive, shown returning to Graceland shortly after midnight on August 16, 1977 (the day he suffered a fatal heart attack). He’s behind the wheel of his favored 1973 Stutz Blackhawk.

: In this picture on August 16, 1977 a 1976 Cadillac hearse owned by a Memphis funeral home transports Elvis’s body from Baptist Hospital in Memphis after his autopsy was performed.

: Sadly, the 1977 Cadillac hearse that Elvis took his last ride in that was used to carry his casket during his funeral in Memphis August 18th, 1977.

: Area dealerships and fans rallied together quickly to arrange a procession of white late-model Cadillacs.

: Certainly Elvis would have appreciated it, and it’s hard to imagine a more touching goodbye salute to a fallen hero…

This is an amazing article. I’ve been an elvis fanatic for 20 years and I’ve never seen such a complete list of his cars. And the attention to detail is exquisite. Many of the pictures are rare, some of them I’ve never seen before. Great article
