One of three cars on permanent display at the Cadillac Ranch Gift Shop is this 1959 Cadillac Eldorado, with a likeness of The King in the driver's seat. Signage hints (but does not affirm) that the car might (or might not) have once been owned (or perhaps driven, or possibly admired) by Elvis, who was known for his fondness for pink Cadillacs. He even wrote and sang a song, Pink Cadillac, about a fellow with "a lot of money" and just such a car that stole his girl away. At any rate, it's a fine looking car. You can walk all around it and touch it, but not get in.
The other two Cadillacs on display are occupied by liknesses of country singer Willie Nelson and actor John Wayne.
