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

Re: Elvis Roadster

Re: Elvis Roadster
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 .

Re: Elvis Roadster
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. - |
