Bill Mack Died
Singer songwriter and DJ Bill Mack died. In his early days as a concert promoter he booked Elvis Presley for an appearance on August 22, 1955 in Wichita Falls, Texas with Scotty, Bill and this time DJ Fontana on drums, and for another show in Spudder Park.
After the show on August 22, 1955 Elvis joined Bill Mack in a trip to the hospital to visit Bill’s newborn daughter. When they returned from the hospital, the battery in Elvis’ Cadillac was dead and he required a push from a local farmer to get back on the road.
Sold!
The 1937 Ford Roadster Hot Rod that Elvis Presley drove in the movie ‘Loving You’ was sold for US$475,000 at Mecum Auctions. The original Estimate was between US$750.000 and US$1,000.000 while the car was sold only last year for US$150,000.
This 1929-1932 Ford Roadster hot rod is believed to be the first time a Model A body was fused to a 1932 Ford frame, and it’s the car that iconic singer Elvis Presley co-starred with in the 1957 film ‘Loving You’.
The car is as impressive as its history is: with 239 CI Mercury flathead V-8 engine in an exposed bay, the three-speed roadster comes in black with red interior. It has central-control steering, custom dashboard and a windshield custom-fabricated from a Chrysler rear windscreen.
It featured heavily in Presley’s film, so The King got to drive it around for some time. Legend has it that he was so enamored with it that he repeatedly offered to buy it from Athan, but he got turned down every time.
