Elvis' Last Cadillac

Elvis Presley was well known for giving away Cadillacs. He gave them to many people, and would sometimes walk into a dealer and buy several at once. We were at a car museum a few years ago, and they had the last Cadillac that Elvis ever bought.

Here is Phil peeking through the window.

Here is the check with Elvis' signature. The date on the check appears to be 1976, so this would have been about a year before his death. It was a bit over $444,000.

Well there she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun

There to greet a working man when his day is done

I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt

I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac ranch

Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts

Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth

Well buddy when I die throw my body in the back

And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac

James Dean in that mercury '49

Junior Johnson runnin' through the woods of Carolina

Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am

All gonna meet down at the Cadillac ranch
