Learned two things...how to get into my roadster without busting a knee(watch her entry), and that my red wheel kelseys don't look so bad..so might put them back on..:)

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

Yall would think even Elvis could afford some shocks on the front.

See that jalopy bounce.

Hardtimes, I always have to back into my chopped and channeled 30 coupe, otherwise, I cannot get my legs in first

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 .

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.
