Elvis gave me a second car shortly before he died. It was a navy blue Lincoln Mark V. He called Schilling Motors and had the car delivered to the house. When it came, we went outside and walked out the front door of his house together. He said, "Well there it is. How do you like it?" "Well," I said, "anybody would love it. Thank you very much. Let's go for a ride in it. You drive." He said, "Well, okay." So he got in behind the steering wheel and I jumped in the front seat. A couple of the body guards got in the back seat and a car followed us and we drove around Graceland, out onto the street, around the block, and back.

I'll never forget the fact that he nearly had a wreck turning in the driveway. Someone yelled at him, they probably didn't know it was Elvis. I believe it was probably the last car that Elvis ever drove.
