Look what Elvis thought of his Schmitt!



And, doesnt this remind you of a 175 that went for sale?



(Yes, I know its the towel rack, it just looks like the fins)

Hey! I have never seen that picture before! Looks like he's sorting out his fuel line. If he didnt like it I guess he could always "Return to sender!" ;D ;D

It is one of the popular photos!

I had a dream a whi;e back that the owner of the schmitt moved to France, in a town near us, and I went to see him, and the car was a complete wreck, only the monocoque survining!

Why he bought it is something of a situation along the lines of 'Its one. For the money. Two. For the show, Three? to get ready to feed the cat'!

Why are you putting words in his mouth? Here's what the King himself said about the Messerschmitt:

Sounds like a good swap to me - for the clothes shop owner.

Yeah, a Messerschmitt with a MR EA Presley as the last owner sure would suit me.

I reckon it's a 1950s Cadillac Hearse painted white.



The photo is actually a 1954 Cadillac Eureka 3-way Landau Hearse - I don't know what the 3-way means (conception location, ambulance and hearse perhaps?).
