- Elvis purchased the 1958 Convair 880 in April 1975 and named it Lisa Marie after his daughter. He spent more than $800,000 having the jet remodeled. The customized jet features a living room, conference room, sitting room, and private bedroom, as well as gold-plated seat belts, suede chairs, leather covered tables, 24-karat gold-flecked sinks and more. The Lockheed Jet Star, customized by Elvis with a yellow and green interior, was primarily used for taking Elvis’ manager and his staff from city to city during his concert tours. It is also on the property but we weren’t able to see inside the smaller plane.
Elvis called the plane his ‘flying Graceland’. This tour is a must-see if you make the trip to Graceland. Join us for the tour!
Amazing video..Keep up the good work young people..Lot of love
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Elvis Presley lived like a KING thanks to All who support Him keep His legacy alive forever Elvis Presley 2022
We were so amazed at how much has been kept and preserved.

It was pure luxury! Thanks for watching! 🤗
That is so awesome. Enjoyed the old TV’s and gold sinks.

Flew on that plane a couple times in the 60's when it was with Delta tail number N8809E Convair 880
Wow! That’s amazing!
Wow that was awesome you two shared with us all thanks.
We appreciate you watching! 😊
I was there & seen it in 85'. We had a blast! The property was a lot different back then, and if I remember correctly the seat belt buckles on the Lisa Marie were also gold plated. And oh yeah, we got to see his favorite horse Rising Sun back then, he was still alive. He actually had his head poking through the back kitchen door when we toured the kitchen! Was awesome and I'll never forget
What an amazing experience! And you are correct the seatbelts were also gold plated! So awesome to see Rising Sun! Thanks for sharing that with us! 😊
Convair 880😊I visited it back in 1984, when the girlfriend & I visited Graceland! Always awesome to see it again, since I haven't been back since then. And sure looks like the Graceland experience sure has changed since 84. Which is kinda sad to me.
It has definitely changed but still a wonderful experience!
Hello my favourite couple after a long time I'm here for enjoy with .hope you are fine .take care and best of luck ✨️ ❤️

Absolutely amazing such a marvelous part of history
We agree! It was awesome to see! 🤗
Thank You Folks So Much For This Tour Of The Now Late Lisa Marie, may she Rest In Peace with Her Dad, they are probably sing their Hearts out together, I am A ELVIS FAN since I was a kid and today at 66 years old I still am a Fan, God Bless You Kind Folks, I am from Norfolk Massachusetts and GRACELAND IS ON MY BUCKET LIST
It’s definitely worth the visit! Almost too much to see in one day. We stayed at the Graceland Guesthouse and loved it! We want to go back! I, Terri, am 66 as well. We appreciate you watching 😊
@@RetiredLovingIt Your Welcome And I will make it out there soon to it’s my Dream
Like 277 👍
Hello from Naples, Florida. Wow, what a great tour of the Kings' Jet. We would love to see that in person. Thank you so much for sharing, have a great week. 💯
It was amazing to see!!! We appreciate you watching 😊
Good morning drear friends, this was fantastic tour. Beautiful plain I really love it. Have a lovely weekend.
Thanks! It was awesome to see in person! 🤗
Really enjoyed the inside of that jet. True luxury
It was amazing! Thanks for watching 🤗
I enjoyed the tour of the jet . a lot of money tied up in it . truly a luxury plane. Thanks for sharing
It was amazing to walk through!
That is so cool!!! Wow Elvis knew how to travel
He sure did! This was amazing 🤩
Wow super beautiful sharing friend
Thanks 😊
Super cool find. I had no idea this even existed for people to tour.
It is across the street from the Graceland home. It was amazing to see & walk through!
@@RetiredLovingIt Yes, the tour round Graceland is but a small part of your day there. There is a squash court out back which is now a museum of gold discs and robes he wore, then there are the three planes across the road in the Fly Like The King section, then there's the amazing Elvis's car museum, then a little strip mall of Elvis shops. I wish he'd seen all the money he generates despite being dead. I got the feeling there that he was an innocent person being exploited by the cynical. Poor Elvis, such a lovely person, not really suited to the seedy, greedy world of show business.
We agree! We believe people used him and exploited him. Sad
How interesting, Looks like a house on the inside.
It was amazing to see in person! Thanks for watching 😊
❤
We appreciate you watching 😊
The King rules the airways.......Up in the sky and on the radio.
True! Thanks for watching 🤗
Very cool 😎 I would love to have my own jet. It would make going Someplace Or Another much faster 👍
It was amazing to see!
This was super interesting! 💕
It was amazing to walk through 🤗
I wasn't expecting the plane to look like a house!!
It was incredible! 😊
I just discovered your channel and I am looking forward to seeing your other videos on other topics too. This was great!
Thanks so much! 🤗
Thanks for sharing this ❤️❤️❤️
We appreciate you watching 😊
Great video dear friend 👍
Thanks 🤗
I was just there on the 9th of September
It’s an amazing place to see in person!
I think l saw this plane in Dec. of 1975 from the Memphis airport. It had a black tail with white E P letters. Also my Mom had a copy of Elvis discharge papers from the Army!!
Wow! How cool!
Great video!
Thanks so much!
This plane was always known as the Lisa Marie.The hound dog one was his smaller jet that sits directly across from the Lisa Marie.
That was a cool jet too 😊
We enjoyed the tour of Elvis's plane. Loved the 70's decor and the seatbelt on the bed. Seems like the FAA and OSHA are well intentioned cousins! Loved it. Thanks so much for bringing us along.
Thanks Dave and Kathy! It was fun to walk through! Blessings 😊
✌️😍😍😍😍😍☺️☺️
🤗 thanks!
@@RetiredLovingIt warm welcome ☺️✌️
Had everything but the parachutes Elvis never shot the TV out on this plane
No he didn’t 😂 we appreciate you watching
I'm surprised there wasn't a kitchen area in the plane to prepare meals in flight "fit for a King".
There was a beverage area but no kitchen that we saw. We’re surprised too 😊
Since it was a former airliner for Delta it would have had a galley for passenger meals. Obviously taken out when he bought it during refurbishing.
It was probably where the fancy bathroom is now in the back of the plane
I actually laid down on his bed for a few seconds in 1991... The Convair was not covered in plastic at that point... Nobody else aboard...
Wow! Amazing experience! 🤗
I'm surprised to hear he didn't like alcohol!
We were surprised as well!
Never knew Elvis had his own private fleet of aircraft. The planes are over the top inside. Best of all they look in great shape. Many planes sitting outside like this get looking in poor condition.
We’re sure they probably spend thousands to keep them up!
The smaller jet, of which there was another identical jet he owned at one point is / are Lockheed Jetstars, the other of which he sold before his death and was abandoned in Roswell New Mexico. The abandoned Jetstar recently was sold at auction and made a brief stop at Graceland on its way to Florida to be repurposed as the new owner found out that not only would it be cost prohibitive to repair but also (and this is likely for both Jetstars) FAA noise regulations would prohibit the engines from even being started up
We heard there was an abandoned one but not heard it had been sold.
Convair 880s and 990s were very fast aircraft, even by today's standards, around 620mph. Maintenance was a nightmare though because these aircraft were so technologically ahead of their time. They were also loud and guzzled fuel at an alarming rate, which is why only around 100 or so of the aircraft family were built.
Fascinating facts!
Yeah were rumors elvis pass on a gold toilet. It was actually black.
Perhaps there was a gold one at his home who knows
Thanks for watching 😊
Oh dear! Lol
The plane looks in Fantastic condition giving its age.
$800k to referb the plane not 600k according to graceland.
Either way….it’s a lot of $$$$ 😂 thanks so much for watching 😊
That’s a super old Gatorade
For sure! 😊
I wonder how often the 'conference room' got used? It doesn't seem to fit my concept of EP. The poor bloke had so many hangers-on that all he could really do was keep working despite terrible ill health so that his hangers-on could lounge around in the luxury HE paid for.
True. People definitely took advantage of him 😞
How fast could the Lisa Marie fly ?
This one doesn’t fly anymore but it was a jet and they go pretty darn fast. We’re not aviators so couldn’t tell you the miles per hour. Thanks for watching 🤗
Sometimes in the middle of the night, Elvis wanted some burgers. He`d call his pilot, who got the plane ready, they´d fly to Dallas, cause Elvis loved those burgers. They`d eat, fly back, and Elvis went to bed........true story......😁
Awesome story!!!!! 😊
@@RetiredLovingIt You need a Rockstar income to do that though...............but imagine being able to do it.........completely spontanious.........very cool................and he certainly was 😎
I loved flying with Elvis on tour! 🐝👍🙌🏿💖🧡💲🧛🏻♂️
@debbyfrederickesq9486 you flew with Elvis??? We must hear about this experience!
Most of the seats are unusual and don't have seatbelts. Wouldn't that be scary to take off in jet while you were sitting on a couch or in a bed ?
Even though you can’t see them all had seatbelts including the bed because it’s a regulation in order to fly.
Tacky and garish
Yep a bit over the top! 😊
Fixtures are plated, they are not solid gold.
24 karat gold plated! Safe to say not many people have that 😊
@@RetiredLovingIt far from true.
We know no one with gold fixtures
Guess we don’t know the right people 😂🤣
01:37..............." Elvis loved his tv`s ".......................Yeah...............until he shot them 😆
We heard about that 😂🤣
@@RetiredLovingIt Yeah it`s so " Rockstar ", seeing someone on tv that you can´t stand................and just blow the tv away. If I`m not mistaken he did it several times.........oh and thanks for a great video btw 👍
Yes, we heard it happened more than once! Thanks so much for your kind words. We appreciate it! 😊
A hei horrivel. Os asentos da cabine todo destruido. A teve sem o celetor que podia estar restaurado, o aviao menor cheira mofo e esta em ruinas. Precisamos divulgar isso para que a EPE restaure. Senao estaremos pagando pelo que nao vimos.
😊
He might not like drinking but he sure liked taking pills with his mountain spring water. Poor Lisa couldn’t take it sitting at Graceland being abused while he was high.
He, as most addicts, hated his addiction. It’s a tragic situation
Gente estive no lisa Marie em outubro de 2022, está uma decadência, precisa URGENTEMENTE, de uma restauração, por favor façam isso. Os aviões cheiram mofo, os bancos está rasgados. Melhor NÃO ter tour do que ver essa DECADÊNCIA. Isso Nunca representaria Elvis
😊
he prefared drugs to alcohal
Unfortunately he was addicted to prescription drugs 😢
I can't listen as slow as she is talking.
Sorry I talk to slow for ya. Appreciate you watching though 🤗
If I had a plane I would name it after after the man I love most Owen Cunningham Wilson :-) 😘💍💕🫶🏼
I guess anyone who has the $ to buy their own jet ✈️ can name it whatever they want 😂🤗
