By the time the 1970s rolled around, The King’s best years were behind him, and he was ready to settle down and enjoy the empire of music he had built. Alas, Elvis wouldn’t even make it out of the 1970s, dying on the toilet in 1977, leaving behind a monstrous mansion known as Graceland and legions of loyal fans.

He also left behind a very cool and unique car collection, which included a unique, one-of-one 1972 Cadillac DeVille Wagon. Though Cadillac never made a station wagon until the CTS Sport Wagon of a few years ago, this unique ride is up for auction at Mecum’s annual Santa Monica event.

There are numerous stories as to the origin of this Cadillac station wagon, the most likely being that a 1972 pillarless Sedan DeVille was sent to the American Sunroof Company. There they grafted a 1970 Buick Estate Wagon back end onto the back of the Cadillac. ASC built two of these rides, one for Elvis, and the other for singer Dean Martin. Special touches, like 24 karat gold-plated spokes and grille, and a plus, comfortable Cadillac interior make this the ultimate cross-country cruiser for Elvis fans.

Elvis reportedly loaned the car to his manager, Colonel Parker, but Parker gave it back to the King because he borrowed it so frequently. In fact, the King’s Caddy racked up an impressive 73,000 miles in service to Elvis and his manager, and was most recently sold at auction for $34,500. Surprisingly affordable for such a unique car linked to the King no less. Would you be a player on this Cadillac wagon?
