Elvis Presley was more than just a talented singer with a lovely voice. He also had outstanding taste and design, particularly when it came to his jet.

In 1962, Elvis received his personal plane, a Lockheed Jetstar model modified to his specifications, complete with mahogany woodwork, gorgeous crimson velvet sofas, and luxury carpeting. Even the most perceptive critic would be astounded by the interior’s beauty.

Elvis Presley’s plane sat idle for more than three decades until his death in 1977, when it became a renowned tourist attraction along the road near Roswell, New Mexico.

It was recently auctioned off in Florida for a staggering $260,000 to a phone bidder who claimed to be an Elvis fan. This jet became an iconic symbol of the King of Rock’s legacy as well as his impeccable sense of style and beauty.

When Elvis and his father, Vernon Presley, first took to the skies in their private plane, they must have been overcome with ecstasy and grandeur.

No effort has been spared in order to deliver the best possible vacation experience. Elvis’ amazing creativity and attention to detail as a designer could be seen even in the heavens. It’s no surprise that his plane remained a symbol of his legacy long after he died.

Elvis Presley’s plane, Lisa Marie, named after his daughter, has lain inactive in a remote section of New Mexico for nearly thirty years.

Despite the fact that the plane’s exterior has lost its elegant appeal and has taken on a light red color, it is still in very good condition.

The lavish decor quickly draws one’s attention when entering this unique aviation history. Traditional oak paneling covers the interior walls, and the seating is draped in the most opulent crimson velvet imaginable.

One can’t help but image the King of Rock lying in one of these seats, donning a beautiful pair of sunglasses and luxuriating.

The seating space is spacious and comfy, with enough of room for passengers to stretch their legs while traveling.

A tiny kitchen is located behind the main dining area. While the kitchen is small, it is equipped with everything necessary for meal preparation, including a vintage microwave.

One can’t help but image Elvis constructing one of his famous sandwiches—a wonderful mixture of peanut butter, mayonnaise, bacon, and banana—and warming it up in the microwave before enjoying it.

With this album, Elvis established a legacy of unsurpassed elegance and style, solidifying his position as the uncontested king of rock and roll!

Although the aircraft restroom is stunning, it might use more elegant elements like velvet and a more sophisticated sink. Nonetheless, it is a massive improvement from the tiny bathrooms aboard charter aircraft.

I lucked out and saw Elvis in his best holiday outfit while looking for the restroom, which added to the experience.

The plane was auctioned off on January 8 at the Mecum Kissimmee Collector Car Auction in Florida, with the winning bid of $260,000.

The new owner chose to put their bids over the phone anonymously. This sale represents a significant milestone for the aircraft, and we are excited to see where it goes next.
