Title: The King
Post by: Mark280SL on March 08, 2008, 18:34:11

In doing some research on my 1970 280 SL I happened to come across an interesting little fact on the internet I thought I might share for those not already aware.

In 1970 Elvis Presley purchased a new 280 SL for Priscilla, I've not been there but the car is apparently in Graceland (across the street) in his auto collection.

Mark you seem to have overlooked other pages on this website...

The "Detours" page has had the Graceland car info since this website was started.

Take a look around, there is a lot more than the Forum pages.
