The legendary icon of music and the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley had an amazing collection of rare cars. He had an unusual habit of buying and gifting cars. He gifted several cars to his associates, friends, and even Radom people on the streets. His brand of choice was the Cadillac and he owned more than 100 Cadillacs during his lifetime. Presley also had other American cars such as Chryslers and Lincolns.
Elvis did not keep them all of them in his garage, instead, he paid for some and gifted them to his loved ones. He owned many other interesting automobiles. His collection was so large that 20 of his favorite cars are displayed today at the Elvis Presley Auto Museum in Memphis.

[Dubbed the “Gold Cadillac,” this was the ultimate luxury car for its time, complete with a telephone, refrigerator, record player, tape deck, swivel TV, and a shoe buffer. For anyone on the outside, its opulence wasn't to be missed, as the car's hubcaps, grille, and headlights were all plated in 24-karat gold.
