Thanks for sharing ! He was a Caddy guy and had/owned one that sat in my yard for awhile. Repo man stored it there. Pink slip and original paperwork written/signed , by him, in glove compartment. Could have had that beauty 'cheap', if would have had two more dimes to rub together..bummer ! BTW...Anyone recognize that windshield design? Was 'Duke' Hallock making stuff in those days ?

Re: Did Elvis ever drive an A in his movies?
my wife and I go to the Elvis weekend in Collingwood, Ontario every August. There are usually 100 plus impersonators. She likes the impersonators and I like the parade. The parade is simple, no floats, no bands but all vintage vehicles and every car has an Elvis in it.there are lots of pink Cadillacs and Army trucks and this year one Model A. People from all over Canada and United States attend. Many dressed like they are still teenagers with saddle shoes, blue suede shoes sideburns. , memories and more memories ! So yes Elvis was in a Model A it just wasn't the real Elvis.

Re: Did Elvis ever drive an A in his movies?
You can also enjoy wonderful scenery, great fishing, fine Canadian cuisine and Canadian beer. All kinds of camping, motels, chalets and condominiums. Only an hour from Toronto, 4 hours from Detroit and 3 hours from Niagara Falls. Golf course that I like better than Pebble Beach.
Wayne P.s. If anyone should decide to attend send me a private message and I will help if I can. |
