The article highlights Elvis Presley’s 1962 Lockheed Jetstar, showcasing his flair for luxury beyond music. Purchased in 1962, the aircraft was a symbol of his lavish lifestyle, featuring exquisite hardwood paneling, plush carpet, and striking crimson velvet chairs. Elvis owned the jet for over 35 years, until his death in 1977.
After his passing, the Jetstar was left in Roswell, New Mexico, for over three decades. Although its exterior paint has faded, the interior remains relatively well-preserved, a testament to the King of Rock and Roll’s personal touch. This aircraft is one of several private jets he owned, including the modified Convair 880, “Lisa Marie,” and another JetStar named “Hound Dog 2.” These planes reflected his extravagant tastes and love for style, beyond just music.
