The Graceland Car Collection

The best bit of Graceland was the house, but the car collection, which is located in a purpose-built facility on the other side of Elvis Presley Blvd, was also very special.

Elvis is probably best known for his love of Cadillacs:

Elvis apparently said that "Life is too short to drive boring cars." I wasn't around when he said it, but I agree....sort of. I think it's more a case of "Life is too short to work on boring cars," since I spend a lot more time doing that than I do driving them. What's not up for debate is that absolutely none of the vehicles in this collection could be described as boring.
