Description

The Eagle on the hood was painted after the design for the "ALOHA FROM HAWAII" concert in 1973, the first-ever performance to be broadcast live via satellite around the world. The costume worn by ELVIS for the show was the "American Eagle Jumpsuit", a white one-piece with red and blue gems heavily patterned in the shape of eagles, with thematically matching belt and cape. "ALOHA FROM HAWAII" was a charitable ELVIS Concert too, benifiting the Kui Lee Cancer Fund . On this occasion, ELVIS personally wanted his ALOHA CONCERT to be a grandiose statement about America... The car is actually on display for tourists' view on the road to Hana Town, in Maui, near a gorgeous waterfall... From "Hawaiian Vacation" series.

Elvis' still alive, he just left the building...(just kidding!).Thank you for opening my eyes, Hardo. It has to be the ELVIS ESTATE or LISA MARIE PRESLEY herself for the donation.
