1972 Cadillac de Ville Estate Wagon Ex-Elvis Presley
Elvis’ letztes Lieblingsauto!
Rock ‘n‘ Roll ist mit der Autokultur so eng verbunden wie keine zweite Musikrichtung. Viele Interpreten thematisierten den amerikanischen Autokult der 1950er Jahre und erzählen von rastloser Mobilität quer durch die USA. So war auch Elvis ein bekennender Autonarr, wie er im Buche steht. Er hatte so ziemlich alle Autotypen in seiner Sammlung, die intensivste und am längsten währende Beziehung pflegte er aber mit seinen Cadillacs. Wie viele Cadillacs er tatsächlich kaufte und zum großen Teil verschenkte, lässt sich heute nicht mehr nachvollziehen, es müssen Hunderte gewesen sein. Dieser wahrgewordene Traumkunde eines jeden Autoverkäufers unterschrieb an guten Tagen schon mal für 10 und mehr Autos am Stück. Auch wenn viele Caddies nach dem Kauf sogleich an gute Freunde weitergereicht wurden, diesen 1972er Cadillac Custom Estate Wagon fuhr er von 1972 bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1977.
Eigentlich war auch dieser hier ein Geschenk an seinen Manager Colonel Parker. Elvis lieh sich den Caddy jedoch so häufig für die Fahrten von seinem Wohnhaus in Beverly Hills zu seinen ausverkauften Shows in Las Vegas aus, dass Parker ihn wieder zurückgab. Und Elvis genoss die Fahrten mit diesem Auto so sehr, dass er damit auf diesen Pendelstrecken an die 70. 000 Meilen ansammelte. Im Dezember 1976 fuhr er den Wagen dann 1. 500 Meilen von Vegas zurück nach Graceland, was als letzter Road Trip des Kings gilt. Acht Monate später starb er.
Ursprünglich als Limousine vom Typ Sedan Deville produziert, wanderte der Wagen dann zur „American Sunroof Company“ in Michigan, um dort zu einem ExtraLarge-Kombi umgebaut zu werden. ASC stellte nur zwei maßgeschneiderte Exemplare in genau dieser Spezifikation her. Das zweite, es ging an Dean Martin, soll sich auch in Europa befinden. Die umfangreiche Ausstattung bietet alle möglichen hydraulischen und elektrischen Helferlein, eine Klimaanlage, eine Lederausstattung und ein Radio mit 8-Spur-Tonband. Der Station Wagon verfügt über eine 3. Sitzreihe und eine zweiteilige Hecktür, die zweierlei Öffnungswege kennt und deren Glas versenkbar ist. Dass es sich hier nicht nur um einen gewöhnlichen Großfamilientransporter handelt, sondern um das Auto des Kings, lässt sich dann noch an etlichen Zierteilen ausmachen, die 24karätiges Gold tragen – und selbst die Radspeichen sind vergoldet.
Nach Elvis‘ Tod war der Wagon noch zwei Jahrzehnte lang auf Graceland im Einsatz und wurde dort vom Personal des Anwesens genutzt. Der originale US Title aus dieser Zeit weist als Halter das Elvis Presley Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, aus. Ab Ende der 90er Jahre war er dann in Liebhaberhänden und gelangte schließlich 2016 in die österreichische Sammlung.

No other car captured the essence of the Jet Age quite like the 1959 Cadillac. In addition to sharply swept and dramatically pointed fins, surface development was a series of curves, nacelles, and character lines that could have come from one of the new jet fighters of the time.
