the cadillac dealers back in 74 had wagons built at coach companies for sale at their dealerships, even the cowboy cadillac truck was available. still see some occasionally, rare but not too rare. one year they actually used the eldorado to build either the wagon or the truck, can't remember for sure.

For 10 grand over the 7500 sedan MSRP, no wonder most customers went for an Olds Custom Cruiser or Buick Estate wagon instead.
Way cool and I , for one , am glad you drive it !!!!!

I am surprised they didn't use the Fleetwood as they have a B pillar, and it would of been easier to convert. I doubt he drove it much, as he died in 77 when the wagon was 3years old.

Elvis also bought 2 Stutz Blackhawks. The last cars he ever drove.
@RockandrollNegro
Жыл бұрын
Technically he bought four Blackhawks and leased a fifth. Stutz #1 got totalled by a hired driver the year he bought it, and he put the wreck in storage with the intention of having Stutz restore it at some point. Graceland had it restored a few years ago and it's on display there. He bought Stutz #2 to replace it, and purchased Stutz #3 as a gift for his personal physician. Stutz #4 & 5 were leases; Elvis liked #4 so much that he purchased it at the end of his 12 month lease. Stutz #4 was the one he was famously photographed driving the day before he died. Graceland sold it sometime in the early eighties to get the needed funds to renovate the grounds and turn it into the tourist spot it is today. It may be in the hands of a private collector, but nobody's sure. Stutz #5 went back to the company at the end of its lease. Nobody is sure what happened to #2, but it's thought Elvis sold it back to Stutz when he leased #4 and 5.

Graceland says the 1971 Black Stutz was the one damaged, and that the 1973 was his last driver and that is at Graceland.

I would have Elvis’ signature authenticated if I were you. That’s not his signature.
@RockandrollNegro
Жыл бұрын
Elvis's signature changed year to year, so his is probably the most difficult of all celebrity signatures to authenticate. He also employed secretaries for official documentation that he didn't need to be present to sign, which is probably where this signature originated. He provided a template to all of his office staff that had a variety of signatures for them to copy for paperwork and autograph requests. Experts have even been able to identify which of his four secretaries signed something. This title would've probably been signed by Becky Yancey or her second. She left in late 1974, so it may have been her replacement. Yancey had a tighter, taller, rounder signature than Elvis ever had, and this looks like her work. Elvis always had a wide, closely cropped signature.
