    Mr. Spa...……...…......….you are the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And wow, Billy's mind went crazy thinking back when he then remember Elvis driving that thing and also I'm sure that Billy was crying in his head missing Elvis, we all do ! And what can we say, this life is just a memory and will be for all of us. I used to say that 3 generation we will remember and that's it and then we are gone and that goes for all of us so enjoy life folks. TCB from Vasa Finland.

Thank you Spa Guy for sharing an incredible moment. I sincerely hope that you can have Billy back as a guest again. His stories and his enthusiasm for telling them are the best. Love this video!! Thanks again 👍🇺🇸

    Wow, what a beautiful racer. Now that's what I would say is a REAL classic racer. The mechanic must have made a terrific restauration job. And now this one will be displayed at the Graceland Automobile Museum for the "Elvis Week" soon. What a pity I won't be there. As always you're always fist with everything when following Elvis' footsteps. And how great to see Billy Stanley's facial expression when he saw the car and remembered it from Graceland when he was only 7 years old. A great video Spa guy I must share with my many Elvis-fans on FB. Thanks a lot Billy, a true gem.😛😲🤗

    What a cool story.
    Great to see people with passion.
    Billy Stanley eyes nearly popped out of his head & an instant smile from ear to ear.
    Crazy how Billy said he was discussing about the car recently & then he sees it !!!
    Billy is looking great. Jimmy nice job on the restore.
    A side note. I live in Canada & am 64 yrs old & been an Elvis fan from 4 yrs old or there abouts.
    Elvis in his 31 films ( was it 31? ) was full of adventure ...spills & thrills but in real life he loved adventure!!!
    Karate horses motorcycle boat swimming racket ball football bus driving ski mobile ....thank goodness he never seen a man shot out of a cannon or some high wire act (Walenda family) ...heard when he met Ali boxer Elvis did a side kick & Ali fell to the floor. Thankfully Ali laughed & no brawl between Elvis & Ali's bodyguards ignited (ha !) Elvis of the movies was in many ways Elvis in real life.
    By the way in Canada there is the Vision Ch & every summer they have a few Elvis movies during the week starting at 9 to 11pm.
    Ironically today in London Drugs City of Richmond I bought 3 Elvis DVDs/CDs ...Sony.
    One is about the 3 times Elvis was on the Ed Sullivan Show.
    Another is 3 CDs on Elvis in Vegas.
    The last one is DVD & 3 songs & other info stuff...
    Elvis fan forever.

    You got me laughing when Billy was sitting in it and you asked about it having a floor board.
    I said out loud and started laughing, No, you have to drive it like the Flintstones 🤣
    Too bad Billy couldn’t buy just to have it. Not too race but just own it.
    Always good Spa Guy!!

    Dang Mr. Spa Guy! The suspense of you uncovering that car was almost as bad as waiting in the audience for Elvis to hit the stage in Houston, TX, Nov 12 1971. March 3, 1974 at the sold out Astrodome(44, 175 crazed fans in audience), June 4, 1975 in Houston. And 7 Dec1976 in Vegas. That's not cool to do that to a 62 year old! LOL! What a very, very, very nice video. Thank you!

  • @freetob1
    @freetob1 Před 5 lety +4

    It makes you wonder if when Elvis crashed, if that is where those scars were made on his shins, both of them ???
    People say it is from a hot wash post but I kind of have my doubts with that. Anyway curiosity for me. Boy Billy seems emotional and maybe choking it back. How Cool is this??? Love You Billy, seeing this emotion is REAL. I am the lady that touched the Purple Cadillac at the Museum on Dec 4, 2018, maybe the 5th. I had asked you if that was you that said, "Well I'm not with you" That was so crazy but you answered and said no, it was not you. I wish I could have said that it was you there when I was trying to get into TROUBLE!!! Thank for another Great Video Boys!!! Blessings to you BOTH
