    You might search here for a pic, Elvis's car has been posted, it's on display at Graceland in a crazy light tunnel.

    It is indeed equipped with wire wheels, it's black IIRC.

    yes, yes and YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS.
    Finally the V8 bloodline can be completed. I just hope they don't keep us waiting 'til next X-mas. If they make the Elvis car in black with wire wheels, I am sure they will make a regular red one too. I have been waiting for this for ever. What took so long for anyone to decide to make it? Then they need to make a Mondial t and a decent 288GTO and I will be in seventh heaven.

    Now, can someone please tell me that CMC are going to make more 250 cars, or at least a 275GTB :)

    Looking forward to this one.

    If they don't make a regular 308GT4 then I'll get another 308 and cannibalize it for the wheels. Other than that the "Elvis GT4" looks pretty much stock.

    This is the only Ferrari in my collection in the wrong scale: only found one in 1/43

    I'm sure they will start showing up at the Mattel toy store this fall. Not sure about the price, maybe $90.
