The last Cadillac bought by Elvis Presley is on show at Beulieu Motor Museum here in the South.  Elvis bought the car in October 1976 and personally chose the colour scheme.  It has 58,000 miles on the clock and a CB radio that he used to contact his staff at Graceland.   Elvis was photographed driving the car on the 15th August 1977, the day before he died.




In his lifetime, Elvis bought around 200 Cadillacs although many were given away as presents.  However, this one was bought from Hillcrest Motor Company in Beverley Hills for himself.

One of the first people to see the car at Beulieu was Lady Fiona Montague, wife of the museum's founder, Lord Montague and as a huge fan of Elvis, was more than happy to pose in a white jumpsuit.
