Bonhams|Cars Online
London, UK – Bonhams|Cars will offer a unique piece of rock and roll history – the 1977 Cadillac Seville personally owned and driven by Elvis Presley. With custom bodywork by Fisher and powered by a robust 5.7-liter V8 engine, this Cadillac was not just another car for “The King” – it is believed to be the last vehicle he purchased before his untimely death. Elvis selected the distinctive color scheme himself and fitted it with a CB radio to communicate with the Graceland guard house and kitchen. Verified by Graceland Authenticated LLC, the original title bears Elvis’ name, and photographs show him behind the wheel, embodying the iconic legacy of his life and style.
Elvis Presley’s 1977 Cadillac Seville by Fisher will be offered on Bonhams|Cars Online via a sealed bid from 4 – 25 November. The car is expected to exceed its previous recorded sale price of $100,000 from 30 years ago.
The Cadillac Seville’s journey is as storied as its former owner. Nine days after Elvis’s passing, his father, Vernon Presley, transferred ownership to Ginger Alden, Elvis’ fiancée. Following Alden, the car entered the renowned collection of Jimmy Velvet, founder of the Elvis Presley Museum, before eventually being acquired by collector Greg Page for $101,500 at an auction in Las Vegas in 1994. The current owners purchased it at a Graceland auction in 2014 and generously loaned it to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu for public display.
Now, for the first time in a decade, this special vehicle is available for auction on Bonhams|Cars Online, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of music and cultural history as unique and unforgettable as Elvis himself.
