owner, has been consistent over the years, and has remained with the car today. Fans know that Elvis Presley loved
Cadillacs, and he really loved flashy Cadillacs. He also made sure they were modified to his taste. Everyone has
heard the true story of Elvis and June Juanico flying to a Houston, TX. Cadillac dealer June 12, 1956, and buying
a white 1956 Eldorado Biarritz convertible with black interior. He immediately turned it over to his customizer,
Jimmy Sanders, of Memphis. He squashed a handful of grapes on the fender and told Jimmy that was the color he
wanted. Hence, his purple convertible came to be. He also changed the interior to white roll and pleated leather.
The coupe in this ad, according to verbal history, was purchased and given by Presley to his manager, Colonel Tom
Parker. The car was an unimpressive green and white with green and white interior. Presley bought the car, then
stipulated that it be repainted red and white and a red and white interior installed. Later, Elvis also gave Parker
a 1975 Blue Cadillac Seville, that displayed the TN. license plate “ADMIRAL”. Clean southern body. Paint is good driver quality, some older and some newer blend work on the quarters. Mandan red
and alpine white two tone. Dual rear antennas. EZ Eye safety glass is in good condition. White sidewall tires and
Eldorado saber spoked wheel covers. Chrome and stainless is in good condition. Tasteful pin striping on hood and
