There is also an interesting back story to this car. This historical account has been passed from the second 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”. This Caddy sold at Guernsey’s Las Vegas Auction in 1999 for $93,750.

You may believe this story. You may research and find more information. Or you may discount the story entirely. It makes no difference. The car is priced on condition, rarity, and value only. There is no “add on” for the history. It is only a piece of interesting lore that goes with the car.

As an added bonus, a domain name and website has been created for this car, has been active on the internet, and is included in the deal! Hosting is already paid. The site will be transferred to the buyer and you can do as you choose with the site.
