The Cadillac was Elvis
favourite make of car, whether it be a Pink Cadillac or a Black Cadillac.
Elvis included his Cadillacs in song. His Black Cadillac is mentioned in the lyrics
Santa Claus is Back in Town
while his Pink Cadillac is mentioned in Baby Let's Play
House. Elvis's love affair with this 1955 Fleetwood Cadillac was
well documented and his reputation for collecting cars was well
deserved. Though he owned and gave away many different kinds of cars to
friends and total strangers, this 1955 pink and white Cadillac Fleetwood
(originally blue in colour) is said to have been his favourite and the
one car he never sold or gave away.
Elvis bought it for his mother (although she never drove) in July 1955.
According to Art, who lived next door to Elvis in Lamar St in 1955, he
made the pink paint for Elvis and is the only one who knows the formula,
he named it "Elvis Rose." On September 2, 1955,
$1,000 damage was caused to the car in an accident just south of
Texarkana. The top of the car was painted white around March 1956. The
car has become one of the ultimate icons of Elvis and the 1950's, and it
is arguably the most famous car in the world.
