Lisa Marie Plane
|
Elvis Presley is seen exiting down the stairs of his private jet, the Lisa Marie, sometime in the mid-1970s. Elvis purchased the Convair 880 jet in April 1975, which had been taken out of service by Delta, for $250,000. He named the plane after his daughter, Lisa Marie. |
|
Elvis spent more than $800,000 remodeling the plane from an ordinary aircraft into a rock star's private jet, complete with two half-baths, a lounge area, a conference room, a sitting room that could be turned into a guest bedroom, and a master bedroom. |
|
The interior of the Lisa Marie was lavishly decorated in lush blues, greens, and golds. The plane features gold-plated belt buckles and accessories, suede sofas, leather-topped tables, a quadraphonic 8-track stereo system, and a sky-to-ground phone system. The tail of the plane proudly displays an American flag and Elvis's famous TCB (Taking Care of Business) logo. Additionally, Elvis had the registration number changed to N880EP. |
|
Since 1984, the Lisa Marie has been on display at Graceland, offering fans a glimpse into the luxurious travel style of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. |
