On April 17, 1975 Elvis bought a convair 880 jet, recently taken out of service by Delta airlines, for the then substantial sum of $250,000. After refurbishing, the total exceeded $600,000.
He immediately rechristened it the lisa marie.
Elvis wanted a seating area, a conference room, and a private bedroom on the plane ( with space for an in-flight reading library.)
He picked fabrics, decided on colour schemes, chose the on- board audio-visual system, and even ok'd the gold fixtures in the bathrooms.
It could hold a maximum of 29 people, but usually there would be about 8 or 10. When the final paint job was applied to the exterior, there was a prominent 'TCB' logo on the tail.
Let me know what you think!! xoxo
