Elvis cars at Graceland fill their own museum in Memphis. Graceland opened its automobile museum on June 12, 1989. By its 25th anniversary in 2014, the museum held more than 20 cars that Elvis owned.

Today the collection sits inside Elvis Presley’s Memphis, under the name Presley Motors. The display changes from time to time, because cars go out on loan and others come out of storage. So treat this as a guide to the collection, not a promise of what is on the floor on any given day.

Here are nine of the cars, from the pink Cadillac to the Stutz Blackhawk he drove on his last day.

1. 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60, the Pink Cadillac Among Elvis’ Cars at Graceland

This is the car most visitors come to see. According to carsales, Elvis bought a 1955 Fleetwood 60 in blue and had it repainted pink. That came after an earlier Cadillac caught fire on tour. A neighbour named the shade “Elvis Rose,” and a white roof followed in 1956. Metrosource reports that Elvis presented the car to his mother.

The pink Cadillac had been on permanent display at Graceland for more than 30 years when it went to London in 2015, according to Graceland. That trip, for the Elvis at The O2 exhibition, was the first time it had ever left Graceland for display. It came back in late November 2015.

2. 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

Next comes the purple Cadillac. Graceland’s own 25th-anniversary post lists a 1956 Cadillac Eldorado convertible in the collection.

According to carsales, the car started out white before Elvis had it painted purple. It also has tailfins, a chrome saddle moulding, twin hood ornaments and a four-speed Hydra-Matic transmission. Carsales also says the Eldorado is on display at Graceland’s auto museum.

3. 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II

Not every car here is a Cadillac. According to Metrosource, Elvis bought the white 1956 Continental Mark II while on tour in Miami.

In 2017, Hover Motor Company visited Presley Motors, the cars’ new home, and called the Mark II “the nicest car in the bunch.” It also noted that Elvis bought the car new in 1956 and that it remains unmodified. Later, The News Wheel listed a 1956 Lincoln Continental among the museum’s cars in 2024.

4. 1960 MG MGA 1600

This little red roadster is also a movie car. Graceland’s 25th-anniversary post lists the red MG from Blue Hawaii among the museum’s vehicles.

The car is a red 1960 MGA 1600 MkI, according to a 2019 Speedway Digest report. Elvis drove it in the 1961 film and then bought it, the report says. He kept it at Graceland. Since then, the estate has shown it in London at The O2 and in Los Angeles in 2002.

5. 1960 Jeep DJ-3A Surrey

Pink was not only for Cadillacs. According to CJ3B.info, Elvis bought a 1960 Jeep Surrey from Sharp Motors in Memphis. The site identifies it as a DJ-3A Surrey, and Graceland staff later used it around the estate.

Elvis also drove a Surrey in Blue Hawaii, the same site notes. Its photos show the Jeep in a Graceland museum display devoted to that film. In addition, The News Wheel listed a pink Jeep among the museum’s cars in 2024.

6. 1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Limousine

This one is the long Pullman version. According to Metrosource, Graceland’s car is a 1969 six-door 600 Pullman limousine. It appeared in the concert film Elvis on Tour, the site adds.

Elvis also owned a short-wheelbase 600, but that one left the family. He gave it to his friend Jimmy Velvet in the mid-1970s, according to Hagerty. Decades later, that car sold on Bring a Trailer in December 2020 for $293,888.

7. 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL

This was a gift for Priscilla. Metrosource lists a 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL convertible given to her, and The News Wheel listed a 1970 280 SL in the museum in 2024.

However, the dates vary by source. Beverly Hills Car Club places the gift of a white 280 SL convertible in 1969. It also describes the car as a permanent display at Graceland. That dealer gives the 280 SL a 2.8-liter fuel-injected six-cylinder rated at 170 horsepower.

8. 1975 Ferrari Dino

Elvis’s Ferrari is a 1975 Dino. Graceland names it among the highlights on its Elvis Presley’s Memphis page, along with the pink Cadillac and the Stutz.

Metrosource describes the car as black. It also appears on Graceland’s 2014 anniversary list and The News Wheel’s 2024 list. That puts it among the Elvis cars at Graceland that sources list from 2014 through 2024.

9. 1973 Stutz Blackhawk

Finally, the car with the most personal story. Graceland lists a 1973 Stutz Blackhawk among the museum’s highlights. According to Metrosource, this red-interior, gold-trimmed Stutz was the last car Elvis drove through the Graceland gates, on the morning of his death on August 16, 1977.

Carsales adds that its trim was 18-karat gold-plated and that Elvis had a telephone fitted. Meanwhile, Hover Motor Company reported in March 2017 that the Stutz had recently been refurbished. In 2014, Graceland counted more than 20 of Elvis’s cars in the collection.
