Barris, who happened to be one of
Elvis' closest friends. This great
piece of motoring history has many
unique features and is truly a one of
a kind creation. Where there have been
many cars that Elvis has owned, this
is, in fact, the only car that Elvis
Presley ever designed. This was, in
its namesake, his Dream Car
During his
lifetime Elvis was known to
have donated cars to complete
strangers
The Pink Cadillac parked at
Graceland's Carport for years
until is was moved to the Elvis Automobile Museum
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
donated 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 the Pink
Cadillac 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 Cadillac in an
accident just south of
Texarkana. The top of the
car was painted white
around March 1956. The
"PINK CADILLAC" has become
one of the ultimate icons
of Elvis and the 1950's,
and it is arguably the
most famous Cadillac in
the world
