Elvis Presley was more than just a skilled singer with a beautiful voice. He also had impeccable taste and design, mainly regarding his jet.
Elvis got his customized jet, a Lockheed Jetstar model built to his specifications, complete with mahogany paneling, sumptuous crimson velvet couches, and luxury carpeting, in 1962. The interior’s splendor would astound even the most discerning critic.
Elvis Presley’s airplane sat inactive for over three decades until he died in 1977 when it became a popular tourist attraction on the road in Roswell, New Mexico.
However, it was recently auctioned off in Florida for a stunning $260,000 to a telephone bidder who claimed to be an Elvis enthusiast. This plane became an iconic symbol of the King of Rock’s legacy and his perfect sense of elegance and style.
Elvis and his father, Vernon Presley, must have been overwhelmed with joy and grandeur when they first ascended to the sky in their private plane.
To provide the perfect trip experience, no expense has been spared. Indeed, even in the skies, Elvis displayed his incredible talent and attention to detail as a designer. It’s little surprise that his plane became an iconic element of his legacy long after he died.
Elvis Presley’s jet, Lisa Marie, after his daughter, has fibbed dormant for over thirty years in a remote region of New Mexico.
Although the plane’s exterior has lost its glamorous appeal and has taken on a light red tint, it remains in very decent shape despite the time.
