Final Photograph of The King On Display At Graceland

Above, the last known photo of Elvis Presley before his death.

We're a little more than two months away for Elvis Weeks at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee and organizers are already preparing for the event.

One display got the attention of the U.K. Express, and that is the last automobile Elvis drove before he died in August 1977 and the last photo taken of him driving it just hours before his death. He was returning home to Graceland after a visit to the dentist.

According to the Express:

Elvis Presley’s death on August 16, 1977 at just 42-years-old shocked the world. But did you know the final photograph of The King, taken just hours before his death, is on display at Graceland for fans to see? The picture is located by the last car he ever drove, his 1973 Stutz Blackhawk III.

The last car Elvis Presley drove is located across the road from the Graceland mansion at the Presley Motors Automobile Museum.

Express.co.uk saw the Stutz on a virtual live tour of items associated with The King’s life and career, that took place earlier this year.

And at one point, our expert guide Vice President of Archives and Exhibits Angie Marchese showed off the interior.

She said: “Elvis purchased this car in September ’74 for a little over $20,000 and yet it is customised.”
