Learned two things...how to get into my roadster without busting a knee(watch her entry), and that my red wheel kelseys don't look so bad..so might put them back on..

Several years back the Smithsonian had that car on display!

Funny, she looks WAY older than him!
But the car was, is, and always will be: KILLER!

Yall would think even Elvis could afford some shocks on the front.

See that jalopy bounce.

Hardtimes, I always have to back into my chopped and channeled 30 coupe, otherwise, I cannot get my legs in first

Poor turning radius pulling off that 'U' turn on the hi-way, could use a trunk latch if you notice but i'll park it in my garage anytime .

True car guys! And a show of age, too (sorry). Barely a mention of the seductive Babe with Elvis. but we collectively notice that the car has major or minor shortcomings! You brought a smile to my face when reading these posts.

She (Lizabeth Scott) was quite a bit older. At the time, she was about 35 and Elvis about 22. Haven't watched the whole show but apparently she was an agent and discovers the young Elvis.
