Elvis Car

Elvis Movie Poster Exhibit

A "must-see" exhibit featuring a rare collection of 33 original Elvis movie posters valued at over $55,000. The collection begins with his first movie from 1956, "Love Me Tender," and ends with his 1972 concert movie, "Elvis On Tour."

 

Each poster has a silk backing attached which makes it archivable. Each 35" by 22" poster was originally folded three times and mailed to the theatres in manila envelopes. The collection was built by acquiring them individually from many sources.

 

The posters were incorporated into the Tupelo Automobile Museum's Elvis display featuring a 1976 Lincoln Mark IV that Elvis purchased along with the check he used to pay for the car. The posters were strategically placed to spell out Elvis' name on the wall. Come see the new exhibit, and have your picture taken with Elvis!

Tuesday-Saturday 10:00 AM-6:00 PM

Where it all began...

Elvis Presley Birthplace and Museum

The Birthplace of Elvis Presley in Tupelo, Mississippi is the only location in the world where you can see, feel and touch where the King of Rock & Roll began his musical journey.

Only in Tupelo can you walk into the room where he breathed his first breath, take a stroll to his favorite location as a boy to relax looking over Tupelo, and see first hand how it all shaped this young boy from Mississippi into the international rock & roll music legend he is today.

Free Admission to the house with Elvis Festival Ticket stub
