Margaret, touching up the painted-
on whitewalls of my parents’ 1941
Chevy while my dad was overseas
in the Navy,” says Frank Loucka,
of Vermilion, Ohio. “I believe the
picture was taken in 1943. The
location was 3540 West 63rd St. in
Cleveland.” Note the Chevrolet’s
accessory bumper guards andits
radio antenna, which appears tobe
topped by a raccoon tail.Reader

Joerns Dr. Suite 2, Stevens Point,
WI 54481.LOS ANGELES _ Kruse GWS Auctions, the entertainment and music
memorabilia auction house known for the sale of unique Elvis Presley-owned
items, will sell the hot rod known as the “Elvis Roadster” at the Hard Rock
Cafe in Hollywood on Aug. 31. The hot rod is a one-owner car and has never
been offered for sale publicly or privately, according to the auction house. The
car has twice been on display at the Smithsonian and exhibited at the Petersen
Automotive Museum and the National Hot Rod Museum. It was featured
prominently in the 1957 fi lm “Loving You,” Elvis Presley’s fi rst starring role.
Hot-rodding pioneer John Athan designed and built the car. Presley reputedly
wanted to buy it, but Athan refused to sell it to him. Athan, who died in 2016,
and his wife, had driven it from LA to Las Vegas to get married. Athan is the
only owner the hot rod has ever had.
The auction also features Elvis’s personal white 1973 Lincoln Continental
stretch limousine; the last motorcycle he ever purchased, a 1976 Harley Da-
vidson FLH 1200 Electra Glide; and a Circle G Ranch GMC pickup truck; as
well as other Presley memorabilia. For information, visit http://www.gwsuactions.
