Elvis Presley’s Luxurious Private Jet from 1962 Finds New Owner

Elvis Presley became well-known for more than just his amazing songs and voice,

which captivated millions of people all over the world.

In addition, he had a keen sense of fashion and a sophisticated taste in cuisine

(who doesn’t love blue suede shoes?).

Few people are aware that the rock star was also a master of interior design.

One of the best examples of his unique taste is his well-known personal jet.

Elvis purchased his own aircraft in 1962 and made sure it was customized to his specifications.

Luxurious red velvet seats, rich carpets, and tasteful wooden walls welcome guests as they enter.

For more than 35 years, Elvis loved the Lockheed Jetstar, but after his death in 1977, it was abandoned.

The Lockheed stood out among his private aircraft collection.

Additionally, he was the owner of a modified Convair 880, which was renownedly

called the “Lisa Marie” and registered as Hound Dog 1. Hound Dog 2 was another of his JetStar aircraft.

His extravagant lifestyle and love of flying were embodied by these private planes.

The plane shown below sat on a road in Roswell, New Mexico, USA, for a long time before going up for auction.

The plane was just purchased over the phone by an Elvis devotee for $260,000 at a Florida auction.

Elvis first flew on this plane as it soared over the heavens with his father, Vernon Presley, by his side.

The plane stayed in one place in New Mexico for more than 30 years after Elvis Presley’s death.

The aircraft appears to be in comparatively decent shape, despite significant fading of its red paint when viewed from the outside.

Examine the interior. I have to admit, it looks tempting to take a lengthy flight on this plane. It has the same charm that I imagine the King of Rock had.

The walls with their wooden panels are complemented by the plush red velvet seats. A cutting-edge television unit blends in perfectly with the room. There is plenty of seating for visitors in the spacious cabin, including comfortable chairs. Inconspicuously, a small kitchenette is located at the back.

Imagine the microwave, which is probably no longer in use after all these years. Imagine Elvis getting up, walking to the kitchen, making one of his famous sandwiches—bananas, peanut butter, mayonnaise, and crispy bacon—and then reheating it in the microwave. Accept the sentimentality!
