In January 1976, Elvis was on vacation in colorado to celebrate his 41st birthday. Elvis went to kumpf Lincoln Mercury in denver and purchased a handful of caddies and a couple of Lincoln's.
The lucky recipients? Three policemen, a doctor, and a newscaster on a local TV station. Anchor Don kinney's gift happened after he gave a report on Elvis's buying spree.
As Anchors tend to do, Don kinney finished the story with a quip: 'Elvis if you're watching, Iwouldn't mind a economy car.'
As a matter of fact, Elvis was watching. He immediately called the station and said there was a car waiting for kinney if he wanted it. Convinced a friend was playing a joke on him, Don kinney hung up on Elvis several times.
He was finally convinced it was the real deal when Detective Ron Pietrafeso, one of the other car recipients, got on the phone and assured him that Elvis was really on the line.
