Elvis purchased the 1958 Convair 880 in April 1975 and named it Lisa Marie after his daughter. He spent more than $800,000 having the jet remodeled. The customized jet features a living room, conference room, sitting room, and private bedroom, as well as gold-plated seat belts, suede chairs, leather covered tables, 24-karat gold-flecked sinks and more. The Lockheed Jet Star, customized by Elvis with a yellow and green interior, was primarily used for taking Elvis’ manager and his staff from city to city during his concert tours. It is also on the property but we weren’t able to see inside the smaller plane.
Elvis called the plane his ‘flying Graceland’. This tour is a must-see if you make the trip to Graceland. Join us for the tour!
