Elvis' 507 "lost & found" on display at the BMW Museum for the next two weeks...

Munich - July 23, 2015

Tonight, BIMMERPOST was invited to a very special event at the BMW Museum; one that we will not forget!

This "farm fresh" 507 was indeed once owned by King, Elvis Presley. Yes the car was found in a barn! The car was recently found in the USA and the new owner has decided to have the Bavarian experts at BMW Classic painstakingly restore the car back to its former glory.

The car has only been in Germany for a week or so... and right away the curator of the BMW Museum wanted to show it off! For the next two weeks, Elvis' car will be on display in the lobby of the BMW Museum for all to behold - farm dust and all. We think that's very cool. You can see the King's 507 from July 24th until August 10th in the BMW Museum.

A short history lesson... BMW first showed the 507 at the Frankfurt Autoshow back in 1957. Right away Elvis wanted one. If you remember, Elvis was in the US Army at the time stationed in Bad Nauheim - just North of Frankfurt. It's been reported that Elvis' 507 was delivered in white, but the King wanted it to match a lady's red lipstick so he had the car painted when he rotated back to the states.

The BMW Museum had a retro band playing Elvis hits and had some of its special 507 Club members bring their 507's to park in front of the museum alongside of some of the Museum's own 507's. BMW only produced 254 of these cars. Most of those were sold outside of Germany. It's a rare sight to see this many 507's in one place! This was a night I will never forget!!
