Elvis Presley's rare Continental Mark II surfaces in New York
Fox News
Elvis Presley's 1956 Continental Mark II is on display at the Lincoln stand at the New York Auto Show to help celebrate the brand's 100th anniversary.
The car isn't technically a Lincoln, as Continental existed as an independent brand at the time before being incorporated into Lincoln as a model line. Just around 3,000 of the ultra luxury coupes were built over two model years, and how Elvis came to own his is a story in itself.
Angie Marchese, Graceland's vice president of archives and exhibits, told Fox News Autos that Elvis was on tour in Miami and had parked his Lincoln Premier outside the venue he was performing at, only to discover after the show that it had been covered in lipstick and notes left on it by adoring fans.
