In addition to his incredible voice and songs, which enthralled millions of people worldwide, Elvis Presley gained notoriety for other reasons.
He also had refined culinary tastes and a good sense of design (who doesn’t adore blue suede shoes?).
The fact that the rock star was also an interior designer is not well known. His well-known personal jet is among the clearest illustrations of his distinct style.
In 1962, Elvis bought his own plane and had it tailored to his exacting standards. As visitors arrive, they are greeted with plush red velvet chairs, plush carpets, and elegant oak walls.
Elvis adored the Lockheed Jetstar for almost 35 years, but it was abandoned after his death in 1977. Among his collection of private airplanes, the Lockheed was unique.
He also had a modified Convair 880, registered as Hound Dog 1 and famously known as the “Lisa Marie.”
