Ob der King Elvis damit gefahren ist ?

Wenn man den Artikel genau durchliest, hätte ich da meine Zweifel, ob der King wirklich damit gefahren ist…..???


1960 Coupe de Ville

This 1960 Coupe de Ville registered DFO 301 was offered, complete with items of Presley memorabilia, in H&H Auction’s sale at Buxton, Derbyshire, England on September 12/13 2006. It was formerly owned by the Yorkshire Car Collection which was first started by enthusiast Peter Black in Keighley. Description of the vehicle was:

Finished in white with a salmon pink roof and pink / white upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its engine, automatic gearbox, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Though, he states that its electrical equipment "needs some work". Formerly the property of rock 'n' roll icon Elvis Presley (or so an accompanying State of California Title Document would imply), 'DFO 302' has been in the current ownership since 2002. Tracked down via an article in 'The Sun' newspaper, it is believed to retain its original interior and to have covered just 76,099 miles from new. Said to drive well aside from the wiring maladies, it is offered for sale with sundry paperwork and some Elvis memorabilia. A stunning two-door pillarless coupe from Cadillac's (and Elvis's) golden era, this 1960 Coupe de Ville is not to be missed.

Sale price was 21,000 pounds (AU$52,681, US$39,235). I have doubts that this vehicle is a genuine EP owned vehicle. Firstly as it appears to be badged as the base series 62 model, not the more upmarket Coupe de Ville, also the documentation sounds rather vague.

Und ist das was besonderes, wenn sich Elvis drin einen Joint reingezogen hat?
Muss ich deswegen 5-stellige Dollarbeträge auf den Tisch legen, wo das Auto, von sonst jemandem, vielleicht 4.000 USD wert ist? Noch dazu, wo EP ja Cadillacs óhne Ende gekauft, und auch weitergegeben hat. Und warum ist die Kiste so mies beinander? Weils einfach jahrelang keinen interessiert hat. Der Typenschein in US ist einfach ein DIN A5 Papierfetzen, nicht mehr. Da kann bald was drinstehen.
So, die Rockabillies können jetzt losheulen, aber denkt mal scharf nach.
