Wasn't this the color of the one Elvis bought for his mother?

I like it soooo much better in black. I remember as a kid in PS11 when the secretary showed up in a pink '55. Knowing she was single, rumors were rife about the identity of a 'sugar daddy'.

I SO wish our reviews were still online. One of the myriad of reviews and research I did. He, indeed, bought this '55 Cadillac for his mother. It was blue!! It was in an accident and he had it completely repaired and the car repainted pink for her.

I'm with you Tony about the reviews.  There was so much information included in them and they were important for that.  I also miss them because I personally reviewed every car in my collection and now it's records that are gone.

I have the "Elvis Pink Cadillac", but it's not one of favorites.  It's the Pink that doesn't do it for me.  Pink on any car just doesn't look right to me.  I do like the model though and glad I have it on my shelves.
