Folks Of Interest Happy Birthday Elvis...The King of Cool

Tried to gat a Hot Rod and song video Got A Lot O' Linin To Do...uploaded from youtube but did not work? Anyway I always thought Elvis in his young days was definately living the life.

 

Elvis who?

 

...did he have any cool tats?

 

Ah come on guys,,at one time Elvis was King! HRP

 

You're so square...

Baby I don't care.

 

It's Elvis Costello's B'Day ?

 

Watching the video reminds be of the old saying"It takes a two acre field to turn this car around",,figuratively of course! HRP

 

Elvis the pelvis, he had a brother named Ennis but no one talked about him much.

I remember that my big sister was a big Elvis fan. We went to a concert and a lot of the girls were throwing their ******* on the stage. She decided that we should leave because I was still a little kid and she was not an Elvis fan after that. Funny the things that will turn you off about someone.

He was famous I will give him that, I never was a big fan myself, but he was famous and he did have a song or two that I liked.

Hey HRP what do you suppose the windshield was on that roadster in the vid?

Oh and it is " Give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around. . ." Hank Snow.

 

Elvis?

 

I've heard it helps to type what you'd like to say and then delete it....so that being said....Happy Birthday Elvis...You were the Man and still are.....RIP

 

The windshield is the back window from a '39 Chrysler. I saw this car at the Smithsonian last summer on our family trip to DC. I told my wife it was the best part of the trip...I don't think she liked that comment too much.

 

Junk Hunter,
Thanks. Never seen one done that way (that I recall), pretty slick little piece of history right there.

 

I never cared for him or his music .

 

I liked Elvis,,but I like Elvis Costello better. HRP

 

wonder what he would be up to at 78 had he not died..

 

Probably 450 lbs. HRP

 

When Elvis was drafted and got stationed the men raced jeeps for something to do, in the first race Elvis was in, He lost, after that He had some hop-up parts sent to the base and had one of the mechanics install the parts, Elvis would only drive the souped jeep thereafter and never lost again, at home He had his fovorite pinball game rigged, the first score of the day was always the highest and Elvis would always go 1st, He did not like to lose. Von Doc

 

There's one thing consistant about the Hamb guys.....99.9% of the time, you people can still maintain a high level of cutting others down.........I wonder if it's a trait that was p***ed down from parents or something that was self taught

 

Wanna hear something funny? When Elvis p***ed away in '77 (?) I was 15 and he was 42. I remember thinking, "jeez, the guy was 42, what's so unusual about someone that old dying?" Now that I'm 50, I don't think that way anymore...

 

clambake, gonna have a clambake!

 

Thanks for all the positive posts guys...I just dig the roadster Elvis drove. Thread can be closed now.

 

I thought Steve McQueen was the KING of Cool.

 

How people for get that when Elvis was starting out he was just as much a out cast and the first hotroders were. And he helped kick of that cool sound we call rock and roll. So here is to a jelly donut and a happy birthday.

 

Elvis Costello couldn't hold a candle to the "King of Rock & Roll Elvis Presley.

CRUISER

Lots of guys were cool in the day, but the "King of Cool" has to be Clint Eastwood no one does it better.

 

To each his own. HRP

 

I like Lou Costello! Treat me like a fool! Happy Birthday Elvis

 

What does Elvis Costello have to do with Hot Rodding?....wow just ****ing wow.

 

I liked him in Speedway.

 

Happy Birthday to the King, He lives on today just as big now as he was then. I still love his music.
