I think this is the car Elvis flew to Houston to purchase in the summer of 1956, with June Juanico in tow. (I get the 1956 cars mixed up sometimes.) Elvis and June stayed in a hotel room together. Scandalous! It was her first time on a plane. The whole thing was a romantic whirlwind. She recalls in her wonderful book that she woke up at night and Elvis was standing by the window looking down at the street. She asked him what he was doing and he told her he was looking at the car, parked below. He was just standing there for hours, staring at his beautiful new car.
Elvis’ whole life must have seemed so unreal to him in 1956.
Do I really own that car down there?
How has all this happened in such a short time?
