Elvis Presley's 1972 Pearl White Stutz Blackhawk
In April of 1973, Elvis made a surprise visit to the Pontiac Dealership where he had purchased his first Black Stutz Blackhawk, back in 1970. He saw the new pearl white Stutz displayed in the showroom window.
They proudly showed Elvis the Stutz that was on display.
Elvis placed an order for the car, that would be imported from Italy and delivered later that year to his Holmby Hills estate on Monovale Drive in Los Angeles. Elvis' new Stutz was delivered at 4 p.m. in the afternoon. Elvis had just woke up, but he happily agreed to pose for publicity photos with the dealership owner, Jules Meyers.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
