On July 7, 1955 Elvis purchased his second pink cadillac, to replace the one that was burned. This was a new 1955 cadillac Fleetwood series 60 in blue with black roof. Elvis had the car repainted by a neighbour who designed a pink colour for Elvis and named the colour 'Elvis rose.' This is the one he gave to his mother, probably one of the most famous cars in the world.
Gladys presley would always proudly point to it as 'her' car. Gladys never had a drivers licence and elvis drove the car with members of his band for most of 1955-1956.
In February 1956, Elvis had the upholstery replaced as well as getting some paint work done. Most likely, this would have been when the black roof was painted white.
Let me know what you guys think!!!
