Mike, where are you going to be staying in Memphis?  I'm going to try tomorrow to get reservations at the Heartbreak Hotel since it's right across the street from Graceland.  Maybe we can have dinner one of the nights.

I liked the "Spinout" movie because of the Cobra! I had trouble finding it on CD, tho. My friend Jack had it on a cassette somehow.  I liked "Clambake" where he drove a '59 red Corvette Stingray racer.  He played a race car driver again later in the film "Speedway".  Lots of cars in that film!

This is from Elvis Presley News:

"When his mother eyed his classic car collection of four Cadillacs, two Limousines, a Messerschmitt sports car and Harley Davidson motorbike she said, "Elvis has always been crazy about Cadillacs. Why, I believe he was only nine or ten years old when he learned to drive. In fact, we learned together.""

I am so glad to learn out this.  I love Graceland (I truck through Memphis often) and a car show there is a great idea!  Are they allowing bike to enter.  I can bring both if it's allowed in the rules!

Elvis was a major gear head and loves his vehicles! Check out Elvis with one of the early Shelby Corbras in a 1966 movie "Spinout"  http://southeastwheelsevents.com/video/trailer-for-the-movie-spinout

When Concours Was About More Than the Car by Mike Thies

When Concours Was About More Than the Car by Mike Thies

The Concours d’Elegance did not begin as a car show in the way most people think of one today. The idea goes back to Europe, where the word simply meant a “competition of elegance.” Long before automobiles, wealthy owners paraded fine carriages, fine horses, and fine clothes. When automobiles replaced carriages, the same idea carried over. The…

A Concours d’Elegance may look simple from the outside: beautiful cars, polished chrome, fresh grass, well-dressed owners, judges with clipboards, and spectators enjoying the day. But anyone who has worked behind the scenes knows better. A…
