1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 Special - Elvis gift to Mom
"Elvis dearly loved his mama. Elvis dearly loved Cadillacs. In July of 1955, he bought the car we see depicted here. It was blue. After a minor accident in September, he had the car repainted in pink and gave it to his mother, Gladys Presley. She had no driver's license. Presumably, his dad, Vernon, did their actual driving. The car was never sold or given away as it served as a reminder of his beloved mother. It resides, today, at his Graceland Estate in Memphis, TN."

"Elvis's love affair with this 1955 Cadillac was well documented and his reputation for collecting cars was well deserved. Though he owned and gave away many different kinds of cars to friends and total strangers, this 1955 pink and white Cadillac Fleetwood (originally blue in colour) is said to have been his favourite and the one car he never sold or gave away. Elvis bought it for his mother (although she never drove) in July 1955. According to Art, who lived next door to Elvis in Lamar St in 1955, he made the pink paint for Elvis and is the only one who knows the formula, he named it "Elvis Rose." On September 2, 1955, $1,000 damage was caused to the car in an accident just south of Texarkana. The top of the car was painted white around March 1956. The car has become one of the ultimate icons of Elvis and the 1950's, and it is arguably the most famous car in the world."
